sparc 5 booting from disk difficulty
With everyone's help, I've managed to get Debian installed on my
sparc5. My remaining problem is that I can't figure out how to boot from
the hard-disk. Booting from the kernel on the floppy seems to be ok. I
think that I haven't told openboot where to find silo.conf but don't know
how to do that. I've tried a variety of things but am sort-of stabbing in
the dark. When I power-up I get
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/ledma@5,8400010/le@5,8c00000 File and args:
Automatic network cable selection succeeded : Using TP Ethernet Interface
it pauses here until I ctrl-a. I can then type "boot disk" and get to a
boot: prompt but from here I'm stuck. The obvious things linux, vmlinuz,
etc don't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you again,
Kris Bergstrom
