[Bug 40119] Re: SPARC boot failed: Illegal Instruction

[Jeff Buddington]

Hello-

I had similar problems trying to migrate a Netra t1 with 1GB RAM to
Ubuntu 6.06.

Seemed that if the system touched the disk with Solaris then I would get
a similar message.

Here is what I did (for information only, use at your own risk) which is pretty straight forward:
-make a note of your boot-device
1. Send L1-A (TeraTerm Pro Alt-B for Break) 
2. insert Ubuntu 6.06 cdrom
3. In openboot, type: 
setenv boot-device cdrom
3. Completely power off and unplug System.
4. waiting 60 seconds, plug system back in
5. let it boot up to cdrom
6. press enter to install
7. after the install completes, don't forget to set your boot-device back to what it was before:
setenv boot-device disk
8. type: boot

It worked fine after this.
