Here is the result of the boot: Sun Netra X1 (UltraSPARC-IIe 400MHz), No Keyboard OpenBoot 4.0, 512 MB memory installed, Serial #50992578. Ethernet address 0:3:ba:a:15:c2, Host ID: 830a15c2.

Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet 1d000 Server IP address: x.x.x.x Client IP address: y.y.y.y Console: OpenFirmware console FreeBSD/sparc64 loader bootpath="/pci@1f,0/ethernet@c" loaddev=net0: can't load 'kernel' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK (The ip addresses are correct but bleeped out) No matter what I do, I can't get the kernel to load. I'm using tftp and bootp. Has anyone successfully done this before? Can you post a sample /etc/bootptab file? I'm trying to use the one in the installation instructions on the freebsd site but it's apparently not working. The machine appears to be loading the loader just fine, but it can't locate the kernel. It doesn't have a cdrom, else I'd use the ISO. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
