today, while I was trying to boot OpenBSD with NetBSD on an external HD, something sad happened. NO response on the serial console. I tried rebooting, nothing on the serial console, nothing on internal video nothing on the SBUS video card. I just get a "bip" I fear that the IPC went into SPARC heaven? Strange death though, nver seen a sparc with no OBP output at all. After the bad luck with the SS10 and SS20... it is a conjure! Any ideas? The PROM was still reasonably alive, it was keeping time. Also, when it goes bad, one still gets output !i've placed a series of /boot programs from several points between netbsd-3 and netbsd-4 here: ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/sparc-boot/ (we're pretty sure from previous testing that the problem was introduced between netbsd 3.x and 4.x.)
