Hi ppl,

I recently noticed that my sun sparc 2 had 2 interfaces (aui). One onboard, 
and one extra card. So i decided to pull out the card and install it in a 
newer sparc, sun sparc 10 (64 megs ram etc etc) which would do nicely as a 
firewall. Ofcourse, somehow the card did not fit, but i figured i probably 
missed out on something so i kind of "ripped" out the metal which is holding 
out to put the network card in nicely. That worked. no problemo. (is there 
some kind of weird trick to put these cards in or are they just not 
compatible???) Anyway i had to pull one memory simm out as well, laying it 
on the floor.

After i completely screwed my sparc ;-( i rebooted it and it said;

48 megs of ram <= not true! i had 64 megs
and something like
"can't deduct msgbuf from physical memory (program terminated)

I'm really pissed at myself that i've gone this far and now i most likely 
fscked up a perfectly good sparc. I think it might had some static 
eletricity or something.

If anyone has some idea's on what's happening please let me know
Thanks
