[rescue] memory in a classic

I'm trying to upgrade the ram in a sparc classic.
So, there are 6 simm sockets. I think I have to add simms in pairs, right?
So, which is the first bank the bank nearest the front, or the bank nearest the
back?
I have 4 parity 16megs simms that I'm trying to put in this machine, plus 2
4 meg simms. The 4 megs were taken from the same machine yesterday. The 16s
were taken in working condition from an IPX. 2 of these simms have sun part
numbers, the other 2 don't.
I've tried every pair in the front and the back slots, and still no luck
getting the machine to survice to the openboot prompt. Some of the errors
I've been getting are:
Data Access Exception
and
ERROR : FPU Exception Did Not Block Store, addr = 00600000, exp = 00000000, obs = 0f884010, xor = 0f884010
U-NUMBER : Suspect Tsunami Module
and
ERROR : FPU Registerfile Stuck-at Fault
00000000 : 00000000 0f00fbbf
00000002 : 00000000 0f05fbbf
00000004 : 00000000 1b25fbbf

0000001e : 00000000 0f80fbbf
U-NUMBER : Suspect Tsunami Module
Also, I have a pair of 8meg simms. They have 24chips on them. Would this
indicate that they are parity? I also have 2 16meg simms with only 8 chips,
so I'm thinking there is no chance they are parity.
