System: NetBSD nelly.aprisoft.de 5.99.29 NetBSD 5.99.29 (NELLY.MP) #130: Wed May 19 17:35:23 CEST 2010 martin@emmas.aprisoft.de:/nelly/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/NELLY.MP sparc64
Architecture: sparc64
Machine: sparc64
>Description:

I accidently booted a wrong kernel and it could not mount the root filesystem.
So I entered "halt" at the root device prompt and expected to get back to
OF, so I could reboot a different kernel. However, the OF prompt was dead.
This is reproducable at least on one machine.

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a

>Fix:
Need to investigate, filing as a reminder
