Hi Jim, Hopefully you meant the "srarc64" iso rather than the "sparc" iso, since the latter does not support Sun Blade 150. Though the 4.6 sparc64 release should run fine on your system, in three days on May 19th, the new 4.7 will be released. You should see if you can replicate the problem with the new 4.7 release. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try running the 4.7-current sparc64 snapshot (e.g. even newer than 4.7-release). -- The OpenBSD Journal - http://www.undeadly.org
