Dear sparc lovers,

I have tried booting the NetBSD 3.0 Install kernel from the OpenBSD
system and from CD but both times it stucks... The OpenBSD 3.8 Kernel
boots from CD and HD without any problems, so there should be anything
okay with my hardware.

Rebooting with command: boot cdrom

Any hints on this would be really great. Do you think upgrading the PROM
would solve this issue? I just cant find any PROM updates for this old
workstation on sun's website...
