Boot: bsd.rd
Automatic network cable selection succeeded : Using TP Ethernet Interface
Using BOOTPARAMS protocol: ip address: 192.168.23.25, hostname: roark
root addr=192.168.23.10 path=/home/aardvark/openbsd-sparc64/chroot
open/sbus@1f,0/ledma@e,8400010/le@e,8c00000/bsd.rd: Unknown error: code 72
tcpdump showed that the machine was trying to contact the NFS server (192.168.23.10) by udp on port 0; the server kept responding with an ICMP port unreachable error. Googling turned up one other person back in '99 (!) who had the same problem, but no fix.
The problem? PEBCAK: I'd symlinked the bsd.net file to the IP address in hex (ie, ln -s bsd.net C0A81719) but had neglected to append the architecture after that. So after I did this:
ln -s bsd.net C0A81719.SUN4
everything worked.
