EEPROM boot device...sd(0,0,0)
Does anybody know why? Does my sun miss a device the generic kernel is looking
for?
And, BTW, does anybody know why my framebuffer displays almost nothing (just the
flashing grid i said before), even when i set it on the NVRAM as the primary
console (addr.0x1f = 0x12) ?
PN: the diags find no p4 device and no screen, but the original proms have been
lost (and replaced with version 1.8) and i don't know if this revision is full
compatible w/this board version.
Thank you in advance

I also have a 4/110. I did manage to get it to net boot with a 1.4C
kernel. However, the 'sw' SCSI driver seems messed up and any attempts to
use a disk with it caused a kernel panic [DMA problems. Attempting to
turn off DMA didn't help any]. I have not had time to try it lately.
Other then that, I am afraid I don't know much more.
