Comments/Problems:
Hitting ENTER at the SILO prompt, the system crashes soon after booting the kernel:
"Trying to move old root t0 /initrd ... okay
mounted devfs on /dev
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8278, limit=8192"
last line repeated several times with slightly varying numbers
"Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
Press L1-a to return to the boot prom"
I have put a screen shot at http://www.medvillage.de/debian/sparc.jpg
looks like initrd is slightly too big?
regards
Herbert
