Hi Robin
First let me say: I don't know anything about sparc specific issues.
So my help is limited to "normal" hints.

- is there any way to manually eject the floppy
the only way a sparcstation5 can eject is by executing a command
it hasn't got a button on the exterior.
I tryed it throug boor prom this is done by doing:
While installing can you switch consoles?
If yes, is there an "eject" command?
pressing L1-A (Stop + A) to enter the boot prom
then typing eject so the floppy is ejected
then replacing the floppy
then typing go to return to linux
but the I a error loop that the buffer I/O of fd0 is broken or
something...
this has nothing to do with the installer.
Perhaps you have to manually unmount /dev/fd0 befor ejecting like this?
(This has to be tried/done on 2-nd console too.)
- if there is, does pressing <enter> after inserting the root floppy do
anything or is it the same as for 2.4
when pressing <enter> without changing diskette I get the same as with
2.4
but I noticed that by pressing <enter> sereral times does something...
this was without replacing the floppy
I will test this on 2.4 also, maby I will be able to get some more
booting done,
I will report my findings in the other bug thread..
Sorry, can't help you there.
Bye
Christian
