Hi Ben, I appreciate your help with this, but I'm still not able to boot my system. Am I missing a key step anywhere?
I downloaded the iso image you directed me to, and am booting from it. At the "boot:" prompt I have tried "/sparc64 initrd=/root.bin" both with and without the "ide=nodma" appendage. Either way, I'm getting the Loading initial ramdisk... Fast Data Access MMU Miss ok response.
