Hi,

I'm trying to install NetBSD/sparc64 on a Sun Blade 100. Booting both
the [1]latest release (3.1) and -current (4.99.6) fails:

ok boot cdrom

[...]
FATAL: boot device not found, check your firmware settings!
[...]

After this, at the terminal type selection prompt I can't input
anything... The system uses a USB keyboard.

Help is appreciated!


TIA, Jukka
