I don't know if it is any help, but this morning I booted a SunBlade 100 formatted with Solaris 8 using the gentoo 2006.1 minimal CD. I installed gentoo using fdisk to partition the disk, but upon reboot the install failed.
Now when I try to boot off the CD (as I did successfully this morning), I get this exact error. Does that give you any clues? -- SPARC boot failed: Illegal Instruction https://launchpad.net/bugs/40119 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
