Re: uh oh
Hello to all you folks who know more than me.
I used today's cvs
The mirror passed the mirror check real good.
I am using a ix86 machine to make a bootable sparc CD set.
ARCH=sparc
bootdir=/boot
(I have nothing sparc-like in there, this is an ix86 machine)
I am hoping that the archive has these sparc parts.
I am hoping that I can make a sparc bootable CD on an ix86 machine.
Here is a logfile:

and then it goes on to try mkisofs for the CD1
and then of course, it says "
Uh oh, I cant find the SILO bootblock!
make: *** [bin-images] Error 1
"
no cd.b, no second.b
silo stuff is not found.
Can a sparc bootable CD be made from an ix86 machine?
