Thank you and Toomas!

I gave the USB image a spin on my T4-4, but unfortunately it fails
at the same point as before:

I have both CPU boards in the box, so I assume it would just boot

It's not super important, as my primary sparc will be a
T4-1. However I wanted to let you know about the status.

Best Regards,

Olaf
