Subject: installation of debian-sparc .iso on sparc10
failure Dear sirs,
I run into much trouble doing the titled
installation work.
I downloaded the three pieces of debian potato
images binary-sparc-1 to 3 .iso from the web and burned the images on to CDs
with Nero,
easy CD creator and adaptec CD.
The Adaptec and easy cd versions, when i did test
cdrom on the ok prompt after stop-a, tested ok but when I say boot cdrom
it
hangs (I don't see cdrom light blink).
The Nero version didn't even pass the test cdrom
gives a signal=-1 failure.
I don't know if I need to do more for a classic
sparc 10 than other pcs.
The link I used to download the debian images is:
I also tried to use the gentoo and zoot sparc
downloads but it gives me bad magic number in disk label, can't open disk label
package
error msgs.
I'm wondering should I use the part of the boot
code inside the .iso sparc-1 disk and reimage it to a smaller .iso and boot
the sparc10
first and then do the rest later?
Also, should I copy the .iso file exactly to CD or
should I use copy image file to CD which gives me the folders and files visible
on CD?
Pls let me know if I've done something wrong here,
many many thanks!
Bst Rgds,
Victor
