Installing 2.2r4 on U5

["Adrian Caneva" <acaneva@nexttech.com.ar>]

Hi everybody,
This is my first try to port my web environment with Debian over Intel to
Sparc platform.
I would really aprecciate some help as I couldn't find in the official
documentation a way to work around some problems after installation.

I am using release 2.2r4 over UltraSparc 5 (cd image downloaded from
linuxiso.org).
The problems:
1- NIC
* Nic on board (3c59x I guess) gets autodetected twice (eth0 and eth1 with
the same MAC address) as "Happy Meal" which I think is not the correct one.
As eth1 it is not working fine , maybe a ping works but not an ftp. As eth0
it doesn't work at all.
* I've tried to install another nic 3Com 3c905b TXNM to face the Intranet,
but I couldnt find suitable drivers for it

2 - CDROM - IDE
Although I could boot and install the base system, the cdrom device seems to
be unrecognized as it doesn't appear in /dev/ to mount it.

Thanks very much in advance for your help,

Adrian Caneva
