Comments/Problems:
I burned a CD from sarge-sparc-netinst.iso, then booted with "boot cdrom" on the SPARC.
During initial boot the system enters an infinite loop. The last "good" lines printed are:
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 132k freed
Then the loop starts:
01:00 rw=0, want=4105, limit=4096
attempt to access beyond end of device
These messages are repeated with different values for "want=", like 4097, 4098, 4099, ..., 4105.
