Linux/Sun3 Debian



Hello,

For some time now there is a Linux port for the Sun3 type machines
(3/50, 3/60 mainly). I'm compiling a bunch of packages so I can use the
system comfortably myself. But of course, I don't mind in sharing them.
One of the things I haven't checked yet are the bootfloppies. This is
mainly because the Sun3 doesn't support diskette drives. But the
floppies do some initial configuration, so one of the questions is: can
I do this myself? And what is configured by those floppies? The Sun3 can
netboot out of the box (this is the method used to bootstrap it at the
moment), so it would be nice if the floppies, or install images, can be
loaded via the network somehow. Maybe there is information on this?

Erik.
