I have inherited a diskless Sun 3/50M 4MB RAM. I have read the general diskless How-to and the sun3 specific one. My problem is that Sun3 attempts to boot over the ethernet le (0,0,0) to no avail. I cannot get back to the Prom monitor at all. I've looked all over the place for monitor command list etc to no avail. Can anyone send me a cheat sheet showning basic PROM commands. Is there a self-test command etc? Once it begins running its RARP how can I abort that and get back to the > prompt? My machine appears to be attempting to get an IP address for its MAC address using RARP. I have a RARPD server running on a 386I machine runnning NetBSD3.1. Nothing is happening. No indications from RARPD -a -d showing anything from the SUN3 and nothing but a rolling |/-|\ pattern on the Sun. I'm ignorant on a lot of this stuff, but I'm persistent. Can anyone familiar with Sun3/50 respond with some coaching? Even better if you have succeeded in booting NetBSDx.x on this machine/RAM config. Thanks David Electron Sciences Birmingham, AL
