I had to patch the source to get RARP/BOOTP in the Ultra kernel.

Does this happen with tilo too? The only limits I see in the source code are: "rootlen + sun4c_size + 0x4000 + 0x10000 < 0x330000" "rootlen + sun4u_size + 0x4000 + 0x10000 < 0x330000" And a max size for the final file of 0x400000. Ultra kernels are typically >2MB. I doubt I can get them under 1.5MB. Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]
