Gentoo LiveCD on Sun Fire v240

Had some issues getting a Sun Fire v240 to boot of either the 2008.0 or 2007.0 Gentoo Minimal CD's.

I was getting "Illegal Instruction" and/or "Memory Address Not Aligned" and it bombing out back to the OK prompt.

Seen this... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/silo/+bug/40119/comments/40 and it appears to work.

So rather using "boot cdrom". Just temporarily change the default boot device by using "set-env boot cdrom" and do a full cold reboot on the server.

Would need to reset to "set-env boot disk" when your done.
