Hi all,
I have a jumpstart server on my x86 PC, which runs Solaris 10 final with
Jumpstart Enterprise Toolkit (JET).
I'm trying to install Solaris 9/04 on a new SF V240, (UltraSPARC-IIIi 1500
MHz CPU), but the net boot dies with an 'Illegal Instruction':
Sun Fire V240, No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.16.2, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #xxxxxxxx.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:3:xx.xx, Host ID: xxxxxxxx.
Rebooting with command: boot net -v
Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/network@2 File and args: -v
100 Mbps FDX Link up
4000 100 Mbps FDX Link up
Using RARP/BOOTPARAMS...
Internet address is: xxx.xxx.x.x
hostname: aaa

Using default device instance data
Illegal Instruction
{1} ok
I know there's nothing wrong with the install server, because I've
installed Solaris 9 on at least 20 240s. This new box has Solaris 9
pre-installed, with the same patch-level as the one I'm trying to load.
To get it to boot off the net at all I still have to replace the
/tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1 with the inetboot from Solaris 10.
See:

As you can see both RARP/Bootparams are working fine. The last file I see
being read (by recording the traffic with snoop) is 'pcisch'.
Any help greatly appreciated.
/Magnus
