We had a similar problem, due to the U10 picking up an old sun4m Sol 2.7
tftpboot entry (which, amazingly, it worked with as long as we were at 10 Mb
OR somebody was snooping the start/install to slow it down). Characteristic
was fast MMU error. Weird. We also had two U10s out of a delivery of 10 barf
on install and/or burn-in with fast MMU errors and kernel panics. Back to
Sun with them.
