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.
