Status of Debian on Sun Blade 150
Hello good Debian people!
Recently I tested the installation of Debian sarge on Sun Blade 150
and I got some success. Trying netinst / businesscard CD proved to be
useless. So I tried the netboot image with 2.6.8 kernel and it worked!
Big thanks to Uwe Wuerdinger for pointing me in that direction.
Information in the sarge manual
(http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.sparc/ch04s04.html)
(http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.sparc/ch05s01.html#boot-tftp)
seemed a bit confusing to me, so I did some experimentation on my own
with rarpd & tftpd servers. I think I've found an easier way than
suggested in manual.
I described everything in great detail and posted my results here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/04/msg00651.html
So, what do you think about my results? Do you think it may be of some
use? Tell me I did a good thing, and you'll make my day happy ;-)
Friendly,
Wiktor Wandachowicz
PS.
I guess you all are quite busy with upcoming final release of sarge,
but some feedback from your side would be greatly appreciated.
