I desperatly need some advice on some problems I am having with trying to
do a remote installation of a tapeless SUN 3/180 from a tapeful SUN 3/60.
The 3/60 is running 3.5 and is configured as a server.

I have been able to remote boot the diag program and format the disk on
the 3/180; however, when I try to copy over "minifs" I get a "write
error".  I have listed below a portion of the interaction with the
tapeless 3/180:

        >b ie()stand/copy
              .
              .
            some messages about tftpboot
              .
              .
            some messages about booting copy
              .
              .
        From:  ie()minifs
        To:  xy(0,0,1)
        count=38?
        Write error
        copy completed - 0 bytes
        >

It appears that copy has found minifs and is attempting to write to disk
where it fails.  We have a Xylogics 450/451 disk controller with prom rev.
'A' and a M2361 Eagle disk drive.  I read somewhere that there may be a
problem with rev. 'A' of the prom on the controller.  Can anybody confirm
or comment on this?  In any case, any advice or suggestion on doing remote
installations would be greatly appreciated!
