I read all the faqs that I can find, and have scoured 
this lists archives, but cannot find a diffinitive answer
to me questioin...

Is the vs3100 supported, if so, to what extent?
Do I HAVE to use a serial console?
Is the graphics console working?

I am not sure what model I have, but I do have it configured
to boot from a mopd server, and it will start loading 
its kernel (mopboot.sys/boot.mopformat)
But stalls just after printing the 
3435 456456 45656
sequence (something similar)..
My sun 4/110 I have runnign net bsd does that as well, but then
proceds with mounting the root filesystem, and transfers control
to the kernel there... 

Is this common?  Does it have to do with switching memory modes?
If I had a serial console attached would it then start prining messages there?


Thanks for your time.. and sorry if I am repeating all the newbie questions...
