Oops. There already is some support for floppies for sparc32, currently disabled. Because of the subarchs, the structure is one level deeper than for i386. See sparc/sparc32.cfg and sparc/sparc32/ directory. I enabled them locally (remove '#' from MEDIUM_SUPPORTED line in sparc32.cfg) and did a quick testbuild. I ended up with: fjp@gimli:[...]/installer/build$ ls -l dest/sparc32/floppy/ total 3436 -rw-r--r-- 1 root users 914432 2005-03-22 00:58 boot.img -rw-r--r-- 1 fjp users 1474560 2005-03-22 00:58 net-drivers.img -rw-r--r-- 1 fjp users 1111590 2005-03-22 00:57 root.img Now, whether they will actually boot and install... I think Joshua did have these enabled for his daily builds. They're just not enabled for official builds. sparc64 currently does not seem to have any floppy support. Cheers, FJP
