Hi All,
	
	I'm trying to install NetBSD on a SunBlade150 workstation.

	I tried many different versions up to 2.0.2.

	I tried netbooting, booting from cd, but any attempt
	has failed.

	They all stop  when it comes to mount root filesystem.

	Netboot become deaf to bootparam reply (thus not mounting NFS),
	 while cd simply hangs.
	
	This is the output of my last attempt:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ok boot cdrom

	I tried different kernel (INSTALL/GENERIC) but I cannot compile one on my own, because
	I don't have a running netbsd on sparc64.

	Among the many attempts I tried I also update OpenBoot, but without success...
	
	Anyone has a working kernel for this machine I could use or any hint to make it work.?

	Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks.
