I got the message here on the Ultra 5, but it was with a test kernel and
color.gz I had made. The problem was the color.gz was invalid. But I was
able to remake it and that fixed it, so I don't know what's happening on
the other machines. There's no rdev on SPARC, so everything we pass to
the kernel is done either from OBP or SILO.
