>Description:
I tried to install 6.1 sparc64 into a spanking unused Sun Blade 100 with 15GB IDE driver and 128MB RAM plus 2x256MB additional RAM. Installation went smoothly, but after reset it fails to boot with the following message:

Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 4.0, 640 MB memory installed, Serial #12345678.
Ethernet address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, Host ID: 12345678.



Boot device: disk:b  File and args:                                   
 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a fresh copy of 6.1 into a Sun Blade 100 or perhaps some other IDE Sun.
>Fix:

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >> FreeBSD/sparc64 boot block
    Boot path:   /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 0,0:b
    Boot loader: /boot/loader
 File /boot/loader not found
 Program terminated
 ok 
 
 Shouldn't it try to load /boot/loader from a and not b?
