I'm attemptimg to run "stock" Xinu 7.1 on a Sun3/60.
The binary image used for my setup was generated by cc
on a 3/50 running 4.1.1.  This image works perfectly
fine on the 3/50.

It exhibits some strange behavior on the 60.

*** Also, it takes a much longer time to boot over
    the ethernet.  The 3/50 boots 58k of text in about 
    a second or so.  Its fast!  The 60 is much, much
    slower at about 20 seconds.  A real dog!

I haven't fully debugged the xinu symptoms, and I
thought maybe someone has already solved this.
Here's a "scripted" session of booting and using xinu:

Any help on this problem would be appreciated.  If no help
is forthcoming though, expect a resolution shortly.....
