Hello. I see from this list that NetBSD-2.0 ran fine on a SunFire
AMD-64 based V20Z. However, I cannot seem to get NetBSD-2.x, or 3.x to
boot on the one I have.
I've tried the NetBSD-3.0 and NetBSD-3.0.1 boot floppies, including both
the serial boot ones and the standard boot ones. What I get is the disks
load, but when the kernel should start after reading the second floppy, the
machine appears to hang.
I've ttried this with the console redirected through
the 9-pin serial port on the bak of the machine, and through the sp
management card. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any suggestions about what might be wrong?
-thanks
P.S. I'm not on this particular port list, so if copies could be sent to
me directly, that would be great.
-thanks
