Okay.

The maths says that it shouldn't, and given that your knowledge of SPARC 
is much better than mine and you think maybe it's okay gives me some 
confidence ;) Let's see if anyone else has any ideas.

Incidentally, since you mention iomem... ;) Have you had a chance to try 
the Debian lenny netinst ISO for SPARC64 with OpenBIOS SVN yet? The fact 
that it puts lots of junk on the screen before it eventually crashes 
trying to run init makes me think that there could be another I/O space 
mapping issue somewhere. But I thought you/Igor had managed to resolve 
this, so I'm wondering if it's something else?


ATB,

Mark.
