Subject: sparc install failure
Message-ID: <20020314051443.B13031@darkmist.net>

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.20

version for sparc tagged: 2002-03-07

machine: ss2
memory: 48M

After booting from the rescue.bin with options to the kernel of:

ip=rarp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/pub/debian/woody/sparc/debian-sparc-root

since the sparc root.bin will not fit on a single floppy(This is a known
problem) and since the tftpimage won't boot on the ss2 (see my recent
addition to 83431).

There are few problems with this configuration. The minor ones are that
it cannot do dns lookups since the network was rarped by the kernel and
it doesn't have a name server configured (minor since I am using a local
http proxy server).

The major one is that after configuring the network for dhcp and install
via http, the install hangs on "Installing Base System" with "Calling
debootstrap." The progress bar does not progress and the proxy is not
getting any requests.

I realize that this is a convoluted way to boot the install, but I have
found no other successful way to do it and this is the farthest that I
have gotten. The easy solution to this problem would get the root.bin
to actually fit on a floppy.

I can do other testing if it would help. 

Thanks.

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).

The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.

If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
