Help,

We are trying to install our first diskless Sun 4/110 under 4.0. The net
we are installing it on has an existing Sun 4/280 running 4.0, a Sun 3/180
running 3.4, and several 3/60's all running 3.4. There are also a number
of HP9000's on the same net. 

Everything works fine until the diskless 4/110 tries to start init (i.e.
it mounts the files systems, finds /vmunix, etc. ) at that point we get
the error

failed to invoke init, error 2
panic: icode

and then the machine tries to dump on the swap area, fails the dump, and
then tries to reboot. 

I have checked that init is in /sbin/init and is identical to that in
/sbin on the 4/280 server. Any ideas how to get a handle on this ?
