Comments/Problems: when I tried to do the hard drive, using the manual
partition option, I got i386 type partitions (primary and logical
partitions). I accepted the partitioning and was told that SILO
wouldn't load. It was right.
I rebooted the CD and reinstalled. This time I used the automatic
partition option and changed the partition table and it worked. The
second drive showed i386 type partitions again. But, by using these
partitions, the machine booted and I finished the installation.
I installed Etch about 6 months ago, when it was testing, and I don't
remember having this partitioning problem.
I don't know what the <access denied> means on the sound card.
Probably it won't work.
All-in-all, I think it was an interesting experience. I don't think
the Sparc64 install is for people who aren't familiar with the Sun
OpenBoot and paritioning system. I personally find it very interesting
and challenging ... as long as I have internet access.
