Hello,
I recently got an Enterprise 450, and I just wanted to let you know the Minimal Sparc64 2007.0 boot CD does not work.
Here is the message:
| Code: | boot: 2617
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Loaded kernel version 2.6.17
Loading initial ramdisk (837842 bytes at 0xFFC02000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)...
Illegal Instruction |
The 2.6.20 does not work as well.
I am trying other boot cd at the moment, if you have any clue let me know.
If I can help make it work, tell me

Hi Ixar,
It works,
You just have to make sure that memory is empty when you boot on the CD. To do this, you have to set cdrom as default boot device, power-off the system and then power-on.
| Code: | ok setenv boot-device cdrom disk
boot-device = cdrom disk
ok power-off |
It won't work if you break the machine (Stop^Q) or init 0 when running Solaris. |

I had this same issue on a Sunfire V240. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
