I have to admit to having very little experience with Sparc equipment, but I
can't seem to solve this issue.

When I boot with a 1.6.2 CD I get the following:
---snip---
ok boot cdrom
Resetting ... 


Sun Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC-II 296MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.19, 512 MB memory installed, Serial #11857857.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:b4:ef:c1, Host ID: 80b4efc1.



Rebooting with command: boot cdrom

I found a similar bug report here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2002/11/11/0011.html

Does this happen often?  If it is still an issue for lack of equipment, I would
be glad to offer the use of this machine.
