Well, I'll try anything at this point. I tried a 2.4.2 kernel to make the
TFTP image. That didn't get much further. Though I am happy to report
that Reiserfs now works under 2.4 on the SPARC platform. :)
This machine was toast when I got it. I had to reprogram the NVRAM, so
it's now one of the many sun4c machines out there with a MAC address of
"00:08:20:13:DE:AD" (hehehe)
It has 48MB of RAM, though I don't know if it's all original RAM. I'll
try reseating it and try dropping it to 32 if that fails.
