Hence, the error message. I have not yet used disk access during my sparc32 testing. My userland is all on a RAMDISK as I have so far concentrated on the kernel side. And here booting is success criteria #1. So I just want to say that you may have hit something more generalm and not necessarily sun4d specific. I have Solaris on the disk on my sun4m box - which I hesitate to format. And I do not yet have a spare disk to play with. So I cannot do testing with ext2 right away.
