I just got my hands on a 3000/300x. It powers up fine, but netbooting
fails. I guessed that it seems to like netbooting via MOP, so I get
"netboot" from the installation dir, put it in /tftpboot/mop, made a
symlink to it, and tried to netboot the 3000/300x. It fails thusly:
>>> boot esa0
INIT-S-CPU...
INIT-S-ASIC...
INIT-S-MEM...
INIT-S-NVR...
INIT-S-CXT...
INIT-S-SCC...
INIT-S-NI...
INIT-S-SCSI...
INIT-S-ISDN...
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS ...
AUDIT_BOOT_REQ
AUDIT_BSERVER_FOUND
AUDIT_LOAD_BEGINS
AUDIT_LOAD_DONE
?05 HLT INSTR
PC= 00000000.20000004 PSL= 00000000.00001F00
>>>
Does anyone have any ideas?
I've upgraded the flash as well. No help, unfortunately. Here's the boot
sputter:

It's netbooting from a NetBSD-1.4.1 sparc machine (sparc 2), which I've
netbooted other sparcs from before.
If I can't netboot, does anyone have any other great ideas?
Thanks!
