I'm trying to install NetBSD-1.1 onto a diskless Sun 4/110. Following the
INSTALL notes, I get an "illegal instruction" error after loading the
bootblocks, but before loading the kernel. If I deviate slightly from the
notes, and use SunOS-4.1 bootblocks instead of the supplied NetBSD
bootblocks, I can get the kernel to load, and it walks through its device
probe, only to die after
scsibus0 at sw0
[pause]
vmel0 at mainbus0
vmes0 at mainbus0
At this point the machine panics with "text fault: pc=0 ser=80 <INVAL>".
This is a Sun-4/110, no disk whatever, booting off of a Solaris server.
Is there something I'm overlooking?
