We just bought a Sun 3/280 running SunOS 4.0.  When I boot the machine, I
get the following error message:

EEPROM  boot device...xy(0,0,0)
xy:  cannot exec first read.

Device not found
>

Then I type a 'b' to trying booting it again and everything is fine.  Has
anyone ever seen this error before?  

Thanks,
