Comments/Problems:

http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian3.1r0/main/installer-sparc/20050305/
Was trying to boot vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-sparc64 on workstation type machine
with Type 6 USB keyboard which is like PC or Apple USB keyboard.

Trying to use installation set to rescue /dev/ as can no longer boot 2.4
since 2.6 devfs cleaned out mount point so 2.4 will not boot.

The uname -a is the system running on hard disc and not the cdrom as I
could not enter any commands with the cdrom boot.
