Hi all,
Don't like replying to myself, But for the sake of those watching the list
and perhaps looking in the code allready.....
Just found what is causing the problem: Memory
For those who do not know it, After booting, sun is performing a memory
test BUT..
By factory default, sun tests only the first meg.
This can by modified at the Openbootpromt
OK> setenv selftest-#megs 128
After typing test-memory it gave a warning: non-aligned memory
Problem avoided by removing one 32MB SIMM.
Since then, installation seems to be continuing allthough i got still
several "unimplemented SPARC system call 44"
and one "unimplemented SPARC system call 69"
Kind regards, Hans
