    Ok, I know I've seen messages fly by about the 210/240 servers.
    Unfortunately, I didn't keep them, and lately I've had problems searching
    the archive.

    I'm only posting because we're behind schedule on this.

    We just got a brandy-new v240. I pulled the hard drive and put in a fresh
    one (so as not to screw up the factory config), because I figured I'd have
    trouble jumpstarting it.

    My jumpstart server is an Ultra 2 running Solaris 8 with the latest
    recommended cluster, plus these:
    109889-02 (or newer) platform links & libc_psr patch
    111794-02 (or newer) /usr/lib/libcpc.so.1 patch
    112249-02 (or newer) libprtdiag_psr.so.1 patch
    113679-01 (or newer) rmc* and librsc.so.1 patch
    113680-01 (or newer) bge patch
    113681-01 (or newer) mc-us3i patch
    113682-01 (or newer) pmugpio patch
    113683-01 (or newer) todm5819p_rmc patch
    113684-01 (or newer) scadm patch

    When I try to jumpstart, I get this on the V240's console:
    Rebooting with command: boot net - install
    Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/network@2 File and args: - install
    100 Mbps HDX Link up
    2aa00 100 Mbps HDX Link up
    boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
    Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:

    I'm wondering: do I have to apply the 8_Recommended patch cluster to the
    boot image to get kernel support for the V240 architecture, or is there
    something else I'm doing wrong?

    If I have to apply the patch cluster to the boot image, does anybody have
    a quickref for that, or a pointer to an FAQ? I'm sure I've seen this info
    before, but now that we're behind schedule my boss is breathing down my
    neck.

    Much appreciated,
    -Adam
