Bug#420425: Installation problems in latest sarge and etch
Hello.
Sorry when my answer is very late...
Some time I'm very busy.
Maybe my first installation is woody but some update chane debian version info.
I try netinstall from dhcp/bootp/tftp server but I can't put it working...
I don't know what I made wrong.
My Sparc Station say only some that it cant find ARP- or RARP-server.
I try kernel update to 2.4 version when I have more time... (Who can sell time? ];-)

No idea about this. There are things you could try, but let's try Etch
first.

Are you sure that is Sarge, not Woody? Sarge only had a 2.4.27 and 2.6.8
kernel...

You could you try upgrading to Sarge proper first (
i.e. a 2.4 Sarge
kernel). See Sarge Release Notes.

If you need the esp driver, that is quite likely. It's even mentioned in
the errata [1]. Could you try netbooting the installer?
