I'm trying to do a 3.9 diskless boot of a Sun Netra T1 AC200 from an OpenBSD
3.8 i386 server. I have followed through diskless(8) and am able to boot
bsd.rd from the server. Trying to boot bsd (using 'boot net') fails towards
the end of loading the kernel:

root device :

I realized that I hadn't set up /dev on my netboot root filesystem so went
back to the server to execute './MAKEDEV all' but hit errors; perhaps
because of trying to run MAKEDEV from i386 to create devices for sparc64?:

$ cd /export/netra-1/root/dev
$ sudo ./MAKEDEV all
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
[...]
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range
./MAKEDEV[598]: RMlist: subscript out of range

After a couple of screenfuls of this error, I end up with a lot of device
nodes, but no dev/console, for example. (Does 'all' also include 'ramdisk'
and 'std'? Running './MAKEDEV std' does create console (0,0).)

Do I need to generate the device nodes from a sparc64 in order for this to
work?

TIA
