The one Sun Fire X2100 M2 is idling in datacenter and connected to 
internet, so I can remotely reinstall it to stable/9 withing day or two 
and give you full access to it (ssh user, root, BMC / IPMI admin account 
with remote KVM + remote media). But as I understand, you need another 
machine connected to it with serial and another ethernet. It will take 
me some more time, as I will need to go to the datacenter, find some 
serial cable etc.

Let me know if ssh + ipmi access to X2100 alone is useful for you to 
start, or only full remote debugging setup is needed.

Can you point me to the original problem report with X2200 M2?
