hme(4) shouldn't need ukphy(4):

hme0 at sbus0 slot 2 offset 0x8c00000 level 4 (ipl 7): Sun Happy Meal Ethernet (SUNW,qfe)
hme0: Ethernet address 08:00:20:73:ea:74
qsphy0 at hme0 phy 1: QS6612 10/100 media interface, rev. 1
^^^^^^

IIRC there also version of the hardware which requires nsphy(4).

	Kind regards

free Sun RAM in Silicon Valley, USA

I still have a few packets of Sun RAM leftover from the last time I 
gave away a bunch of Sun parts:

 - 32MB DIMM, 501-2622 (SS20, U1, U2, U30, U60, E450, E250)

Last time I gave those away in 4x & 8x lots just to avoid sending
little 1-DIMM packages around.  I have about 12 DIMMs left, so if
anyone would like to claim some or all, please let me know.

I still have a few of the Ultra1 plastic disk drive brackets --
Sun part# 540-2782 -- without drives, if anyone needs them.

All this stuff is located in Silicon Valley USA.  Local pickups
are fine, UPS is okay too, as long as I get repaid for shipping.

Cheers,
sr.

3.1 on a sparcbook

I was digging around the ftp site and I found the install sets for 3.1,
so I grabbed them and went about installing everything on my sparcbook.
The problem is, with the install kernel, the console is 66x27 chars,
which apparently, sysinst is having a problem with.  When I get to the
part to set up the disk slices, it would error out, saying the screen
was too small.  If I set my COLUMNS=80, it would get through that
section, with screen-drawing issues, but would error out after writing
the label with

"sysinst: failed to allocate output window"

Guess I'll have to install the old-fashioned way.

It does (sort of) assume at least 80x24

Looks the that error message could do with some of the values from the
call included...

    actionwin = subwin(stdscr, win->ws_row - nrow, win->ws_col, nrow, 0);
    if (actionwin == NULL) {
	    fprintf(stderr, "sysinst: failed to allocate output window.\n");
	    exit(1);

But unless the command line is longer than the screen it should be ok.

Figured as much.

Anyways, I got it installed using the very manual method, and it seems
to be happy.  Recompiling the kernel with sparcbook options now.

<snip>

It looks like the X11 stuff in the with the install sets is still Xsun,
where might I grab the XFree86 stuff that is known to work with this
hardware from?

And it errored out:

ts102 is the PCMCIA stuff, right?

Have a look at /usr/X11R6 - the default is Xsun but XFree86 may be 
installed as well.
Make sure your kernel uses wscons, without that XFree86 won't work.

I wasn't.  I was editing the TADPOLE3GX config from the 3.1 tarball :)

I guess this means your all your sparcbook stuff hasn't made it into a
release kernel yet?

Ah yes, I remember there's an entry for the PCMCIA chip which refers to 
a nonexistant file.
Wasn't me though ;)

Yes, it was too new for 3.0 but it should be part of the next major 
release.
