After several cups (cans? :) of coffee and meeters of Marlboro I now was ready to boot the SPARCstation.
I turn on the box and when the default boot process starts I have to interrupt it. This is
done by holding down the STOP (L1) key and hitting the A key. We are now at
the SPARC boot prompt. On my box I got a prompt that looks like this:
Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new command mode)>
Now you can boot in two different ways. It may depend on the PROM revision. Type the following:
b le (,,)
or
b le (0,0,0)
On a PROM revision greater or equal to v2.0 you can type:
boot net
I also tried to type n to get the ok-prompt and
then typed boot net. This one worked fine too.
The kernel started loading and after a while the wanted "Welcome to RedHat Linux"
screen appeared.
And then it was time for a deserving cup of coffee.....
