When attempting to bring up 4.4BSD on a SPARCstation IPC, I get the following
results. The machine boots the kernel, but at about the point where it should
be accessing the disk, it starts printing the console monitor's help message
repeatedly. Also, the forth boot message seems to indicate a problem...

Thanks (in advance) for any help you might be able to give.
