There is only one problem with the Sun Managers mailing list. When
you ask a stupid question you get to make a fool out of yourself in
front of a lot of people. ;^) Oh well, humility is good for the soul.

The problem of course is that I was trying to boot the Sparc 5 and Sparc 10
from the sun4c kernel architecture. When I used the sun4m kernel instead
everything worked beautifully.
