Does it run Debian? A while ago bug 299074 was filed against discover1, 
stating that discover1 fails to find all devices on machines with multiple 
sbus buses. I made a patch for this problem, which has been incorporated 
into discover1 version 1.7.9, now available in sid. However, to the best 
of my knowledge, that patch has never got tested, since such machines are 
somewhat rare. As E3000 appears to have two sbus buses, it would be great 
if you could test it out.

My E4000 does.  Rather nicely in fact :-D  2.4 and 2.6 kernels seem to
work, as well as vservers with some patching.

I can't find a quick description of how discover is supposed to work but
1.7.7 (sarge) runs on a multi-SBUS machine and detects the only device
that has Linux drivers but which are not loaded, althought this is only
given when --debug is enabled.

HTH

Sarge version will run just fine, but if you have a NIC on one sbus and 
SCSI card on another (which appears to be common), it will only scan the 
first sbus and detect the NIC and not SCSI controller. You can only test 
the patch if you have a setup like this. Bug report [0] contains the 
instructions on how it can be tested.

Austrailia might be a bit far to ship it. Was hoping someone in my area would want it.
