[Aurora-sparc-user] Installation Issues with ULTRA 10, OBP 3, 31

[mistamidget]

I had the same problem on my U5 (which I don't have any more) but recall 
I might have had more success with Corona.
Definitely got Aurora 2.0 running so you might like to try that.
Also are your drives in the "standard" position i.e. hard disk as master 
on first ide controller and the cdrom as slave on the second controller.
