            Bug ID: 233520
           Summary: FreeBSD 11.2 loader fails to netboot on sparc64
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: sparc64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: als at thangorodrim.ch

I tried to netboot the FreeBSD 11.2 installer (from
FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-sparc64-bootonly.iso)
on my Sun V100 by using boot/loader binary as the netboot loader over tftp and
it failed.

--------- snip -------
ok boot net
Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at c  File and args: 
47e00 Consoles: Open Firmware console  
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok 
--------- snip -------

This is reliably reproducible.

However, using the boot/loader binary from the
FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso reliably loads and boots both the
FreeBSD 10.3 RELEASE and the
FreeBSD 11.2 RELEASE installer kernels.

NetBSD 8.0 boots fine (and the machine ran FreeBSD 10.2 for months with
ZFS), so I assume it is the 11.2 loader and not my machine.
