>Originator:     arthur townsend
>Release:        3.0
>Organization:
>Environment:
3.0 for i386
>Description:
On some PC's, stop-a (via right-control-f1 a) doesn't take the emulated sun3 to the prom monitor.  This makes it difficult to load an operating system (when it is needed to boot from tape inside TME).
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot, then enter the stop-a key sequence.
>Fix:
Workaround:
cp my-sun3-eeprom.txt my-sun3-eeprom-st.txt
then change the boot device from "sd" to "st", then generate new eeprom.bin with tme-sun-eeprom.

Reference this st-boot eeprom for use when needed to boot from tape, and use the regular sd-boot eeprom when needed to boot from disk.
