After you set the boot-device w/ -L, does it show up correctly with -G
(--get-boot-flags)? Could you run the ipmi-chassis command with --debug.
We can see if the packet dump are looking fine.

I personally haven't tested this b/c I don't have a machine that
supports IPMI boot configuration.  Are you sure the Sun machine supports
IPMI based boot configuration?

Just to make sure, are you using the newest FreeIPMI?  0.6.1?  Awhiles
ago I did fix a corner case in the six-bit-ascii output.  This could be
related to it.

It's hard to say based on this.  It's possible there are some OEM
specific stuff in this FRU output which is why I cannot decode it.
Could you send the --debug output?

Thanks,
Al
