	I don't know about the SS2, but I do know that the SS1+
"test-memory"
	command is not very thorough.  I've got a known-broken SIMM that
sails
	right past the PROM memory tests (though SunOS picks it up pretty
	promptly)...

Yeah, but I tried 'em anyway.  I figured that if test didn't catch a problem
then lots of swapping with SunOS might, but things appear to be okay.

	I may be wrong, here...  I have a SPARCstation 330, which required
that I strip the a.out headers off the top of the boot image.  Trying to
boot without stripping the a.out header resulted in something near the
message that you are getting.  Review the Diskless How To, and you may also
find some good info in the OpenBSD INSTALL.sparc document, located in the
root of their distribution (ftp.openbsd.org).

Do you mean stripping the headers off from the kernel or the boot.net file?
I'm not sure how stripping the headers off of boot.net might affect the
loading of the kernel, but I'll try that tonight.  This isn't perchance the
difference between the boot and boot.net files, is it?  I did read that the
boot.net has the headers "transformed" in a way that make them work with all
proms.  The boot.net file loads, completes its whoami request and tries to
load the kernel, but fails with its "short read" and "data type exception"
(???) errors.
