Bug#90549: SS2 Problem



Package: boot-floppies
Version: potato (downloaded 20Mar2001)
architecture: sparc
model: SparcStation 2 (Machine Type 55)
memory: 64MB
scsi: internal (esp)
cd-rom:        none
network card:  internal (le)
pcmcia:        none

I've tried booting from the image on quite a few disks and get the following afer the nice long instructions in SILO:

boot: <I press CR here>
Uncompressing image...
Booting Linux...

Watchdog reset
Window UnderflowType   help   for more information
ok

So, does it appear to be operator error, my floppy drive, my floppies, the kernel, Debian, the image, something else, or all of the above?

Any assistance is more than appreciated.

P.S. I also noted memory-error@1,f4000000 when I did a "cd /" followed by an "ls". Is that somehow useful?
