I'm new to sun, but have some experiece installing fbsd to
i386, alpha and ia64.
I've sun blade 1500: http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/sunblade1500/
I just burned a 8.0 release cd, and tried to boot from it.
I've a keyboard, mouse and screen attached.
I get to OK prompt, type "boot cdrom", but the process
stops after a few seconds with:
jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0088000.
Then nothing, and the keyboard is not responsive.
I have to force cold reset. On restart the process
repeats.
Am I missing something?
Or maybe the cd didn't burn well?
Also, there seem to be no reset button on the desktop.
Is there a keyboard key or combination to force a reset?
many thanks
