Hello all,
	i've just recently bought a sparcbook 2 and I would like to load
solaris 1.0.1 from the tadpole cdrom.  However, the directions to do so in
the "Backup and Restore" section of the manual are incoherent at best and
just plain wrong at worst.  What I've been trying to do is:
-interrupt boot to go into firmware monitor
-chose the restore option
-chose the cdrom 
-guess at the incantation required to specify the 'restore image' on the
cdrom.   ex. "6 0 /kernel/vmunix" "6 2 minifs"

Has anyone actually been able to reinstall sunos on their sparcbook?
							John
