OK just a short post, but after my experience, it's better to get this out there, it might just save someone's life in the future:
Never, ever copy-paste command lines from PDF files!!
Hours and hours searching for the reason i spent, installing, compiling, crying, and then finally drinking:
On page 227 of the Solarflare Server Adapter User Guide it says:
# sfboot firmware‐variant=full‐feature
# sfboot firmware-variant=full-feature
notice the difference?
There's like a TWO PIXEL difference in the god damn dash
I just had to make this post, because even if it prevents just one life from being ruined, it's worth it.

now stupid me tries to copy paste that command. Lets compare that copypaste with a manually written command:Adapter configuration options are set using the sfboot utility v4.5.0 or later from the Solarflare Linux Utilities package (SF‐107601‐LS issue 28 or later). The firmware variant must be set to full‐feature / Virtualization. # sfboot firmware‐variant=full‐feature
# sfboot firmware‐variant=full‐feature
# sfboot firmware-variant=full-feature
