Odd, IIRC the nonames are half-flash systems, i.e. they can only hold
one firmware at a time?
Anyway, from the SRM prompt type 'show ewa0*' (without the single
quotes) to make sure your ethernet is found and has the correct
settings.
Assuming that is all setup correctly, you should be able to type: 'boot
-proto bootp ewa0 -flags "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.1"' (minus
the single quotes, changing as necessary).
You should be able to type 'help boot' and get a list of other options.
If not I can dig out a couple of manuals and probably find what you
need.
If you have another Linux/UNIX system to prep the hdd on, it may be
easier then netbooting.. I don't remember if there is a netboot image on
in the ISO images?
HTH,
Ron
