I've spent today working on netbooting on the sun4c platform, specifically
the IPC and IPX problems that people have.
The image that's currently in the tree will load up on my IPC and then
just halt. No errors, the size count stops and that's it.
I've been working on new images, using a different approach to making net
boot images, and now I have gotten a little further. The netboot loader
(TILO) loads and then it attempts to find the kernel or boot it or
something and just displays "Illegal instruction" and returns to the ok
prompt.
The CD-ROM does boot up just fine on the system, so I know the machine I
have is actually capable of booting Slackware.
I'm not really sure what else to try. I've tried different piggyback tftp
images, tried tilo several different ways. a.out kernels, elf kernels,
compressed, not compressed. If anyone has any suggestions or pointers or
anything on this subject, please speak up.
