SPARC: UsingWAN Boot Program to Directly Boot
From Installation Media Fails (6734066)
Installation fails if you attempt to boot the system by using the following command:
# boot -F wanboot -vV -o prompt
As a result, a system panic occurs. The following error message is displayed:
wanboot: panic - boot: can’t alloc ramdisk memory
This problem occurs on both Sun4u and Sun4v platform types. This problem was introduced in
the Solaris 10 10/08 release.

directly from the installation media.
