Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.16
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The boot-floppy images that are on the ftp sites will not boot on
either sparcstation2 or sparcstation10. On the 2, it gets to SILO.
When you press enter to start the install, it proceeds to
uncompress the kernel. It then fails with something like IDPROM:
failed reading format. The 10 claims that it cannot find a sun
boot label or something like that and does not even get to SILO.
I tried this on two different sparc2's and one sparc10. One Sparc2
had 32 mb RAM, and the other has 64 mb RAM. I don't know about
the sparc10.
