Hi all,

I've just set up a netboot for a Sparcbook 3 and all seemed
to go 100% except when it finishes loading the kernel the
display dissapears and from the release notes it seems to be
supported.

I managed to blindly finish the install and log in as root and
then rebooted the machine from the command line. As it
rebooted it showed me what had been on the console - it
had definately completed and allowed me to log in.

I set it up with 1.5.2 and netbooted off a RedHat 7.1 box.
The only packages as yet installed are base, etc and kern.

Any ideas as to why the console took a vacation?

Cheers and thanks,

Jules
