I'm trying to do a 3.9 diskless boot of a Sun Netra T1 AC200 from an OpenBSD 3.8 i386 server. I have followed through diskless(8) and am able to boot bsd.rd from the server. Trying to boot bsd (using 'boot net') fails towards the end of loading the kernel:

(Does 'all' also include 'ramdisk' and 'std'? Running './MAKEDEV std' does create console (0,0).) Do I need to generate the device nodes from a sparc64 in order for this to work?
