Ahh...I am getting closer every day to haveing Linux on my IPC... I got the floppy wotking...I tftpboot'd and installed off from floppy. It worked marvellous! Then I tried to reboot...I came into the boot prom and typed: boot sd(0,6,0) (it is drive SCSI ID 6...I am unsure which jumpers change it and have no docs) I need to do this as teh SUN OS hard drive boots by default from ID 3 ( I think its 3) anyway...I get the SILO prompt. I hit tab and see one image (linux) I then hist enter (or type linux) and I get to "Uncompressing image"..then the cursor spins fro a while I wait..then the screen turns blue. At this point it stops...I get no text no messages nothing At thi spoint I can't even stop-a ....its completely frozen. anyone seen this? any ideas? (btw I tftpboot again..I can mount the system et al...no problems) -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde
