package: boot floppies
version: probably 2.1

hallo,
yesterday i tried to install my old ipc with linux using the rescue floppy.
i downloaded
the file resc1440.bin from

	http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/sparc

(drivers, root, and base files as well), put them on the floppies with
rawrite2.exe (under
DOS) and tried to boot according to the manual. all files were downloaded
march
25th, 1999. i received the following output:

	This disk uses Linux 2.0.35
		(from kernel-image-2.0.35_2.0.35-4)

	Uncompressing image
	IDPROM: Unknown format type!
	program terminated
	ok

the process was aborted and i was back in the prom monitor. having read the
manual i was prepared to experience some difficulties and i tried two
floppies
with the same rescue-file on them. both led to the same message.
the start page (with text: Welcome to ...    ... press enter to boot) is
read without
problems from both floppies, but uncompressing fails. is there a format
change
in the data on floppy or is my old PROM not supported?

data of my sparckstation ipc:	board: 501-1689
				prom:   525-1085-03, rev. 1.6

sorry, no cd, no working sun-os partition, no tape, and, of course, no
network
connection - i have to use the floppy drive ...
is there a work-around for this problem or what else can i try?

thanks for help!

g. haase
