Thanks to Swee-Chuan Khoo, who pointed out that I probably hadn't set the
correct netmask in /etc/netmasks:
I'm trying to upgrade a Sun 4/110 to SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (ok, so it's
really <shudder> Solaris, but...) from a SPARCClassic running
Solaris 1.1.1B. The Sun4's arp seems to work (I get the correct
address back for the client), but then I see
Requesting Ethernet address for xxx.xxx.0.xxx
Since the host machine isn't on subnet 0, this doesn't work too
well...
What's misconfigured? The host machine's ifconfig gives the correct
address (with subnet). rarpd run in debug mode on the host reports
the correct subnet too. Does the boot command permit subnet
specification?
Now for the new question: having happily gotten the miniroot onto sd0b,
when I attempt to reboot (reboot "'/usr/kvm/unixname2bootname sd0b' -sw"),
the reboot starts, but then I get
Memory Error at Virtual Address 0xB6DBA000
Watchdog reset

Am I hosed? The client sun4 has 16MB RAM - the client swap is configured
at 16MB as well. I formatted the disk before starting - it reported no
errors...
It's not possible to boot a 4/110 from an attached Sun CDROM drive, is it?
Thanks for any help.
