i'm going to be uploading to Kevin's box janus, check my next email for
information on getting the netbsd-i386 to sparc64 compiler.

unfortunatly because i have a u/170e (note the 'e') which i payed extra
for, there is very little support at this time for my box and i think
that's why it's not even getting close to booting :(

but anyhow, here's something uplifting:

/tftpboot # cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaa1
Connected.

Sun Ultra 1 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC 167MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.11, 256 MB memory installed, Serial #7955189.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:79:62:f5, Host ID: 807962f5.



Rebooting with command: boot net

doh! time to write some drivers....

anyone have any pointers to getting info on sparc hardware?  i'm going to
look around myself, but specifically i'm looking for information on:

the serial chips used in this box.
my scsi controller: 'fas'
my network controller: 'hme'

thanks all, especially to Kapil, John Birell and Peter Wemm.

i'm going to see what i can download from ultraP to take a look at their
drivers.
