I have just tried on T1000 (8GB RWM) and it fails in following way when
booting from disk:
{0} ok boot disk -k -F /x86.microroot
Sun Fire(TM) T1000, No Keyboard
Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.25.0, 8184 MB memory available, Serial #75710282.
Ethernet address 0:14:4f:83:3f:4a, Host ID: 84833f4a.
Rebooting with command: boot disk -k -F /x86.microroot
Boot device: /pci at 7c0/pci at 0/pci at 8/scsi at 2/disk at 0,0 File and
args: -k -F
/x86.microroot
ERROR: /packages/deblocker: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
It seems that some stuff is missing in microroot which is required for
T1000,
but not needed for successful boot on T5220.
