Shane J. was kind enough to load us their SparcLX. This is a sun4m.
Same as guidedog.
1. Netboot
Tried to see if netboot to an nfs root disk could work. I used kelvin
and ufsrestored a guidedog disk to a exported nfs shared disk.
Got up to loading the kernel but could not continue the boot.

2. Disk Boot
Next, just purchase cdrom, disk and get a guidedog image boot, then rename to mana.
After purchasing the CDROM and Disk. I tried booting up..
probe-scsi-all saw the CDROM & Disk
boot cdrom:
got RAM errors
tried reseating RAM.
Got scsi DMA error
Gave up on the SparcLX.
