Basically I can get the second stage boot process started on the SPARC after being loaded from Linux by TFTP. The client RARPs on the network, prints it's client IP address and then hangs! From tcpdump on the LINUX side, I can see a network broadcast from the SPARC but no answer. Anyone know the magic incantations to get Linux to complete the process ???
