Hi,
I tried (admittedly not very hard) to do a potato install on a
SparcStation 2.
First, the tftpboot.img doesn't seem to work. I set it up to netboot
from this, and got the following result:
WARNING: Unable to determine keyboard typeSPARCstation 2, No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.2, 32 MB memory installed, Serial #4230298.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:e:1d:49, Host ID: 55408c9a.
Testing 1 megs of memory. Still to go 0
Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new command mode)
>n
Type help for more information
ok boot net
Boot device: /sbus/le@0,c00000 File and args:

TILO
Booting Linux...
It pauses for a long time at the 'TILO', then freezes (I can't halt it
back to the firmware, I have to power-cycle it) at 'Booting Linux...'
I sort of suspect that it's trying to boot a sun4u kernel.
Also, it's not possible to install by booting vmlinux-a.out from the
net and then using the root.bin, since the root.bin files didn't seem
to get included in the release :)

Since we now provide three different TFTP images, all less than 4MB, I
believe this bug is closed.
