Hello,
I have recently acquired a second hand SS1+ and have been trying to
netboot it. For the server I am using a Linux box which can sucessfully
netboot NetBSD/vax. I haven't had much luck booting the Sparc though. I
can get it to load the Second Stage loader but it stops and just says:
Data Access Exception
I don't know much about Sun hardware and I have know idea what this means.
I did read the FAQs and the list archives before asking so don't hammer me
too hard if this is the question that the newbee of the day always asks.
Also, one other quick question:
Is there an escape key sequence to interrupt to boot monitor from the
keyboard?
Thanks in advance,
Mike Frager
