Sparcy gets a brother
ok...
At he MIT Flea Market I puyrchased another Sun Station this month.
I got me an IPC this time. It seems faster but...
I still can't get Linux on it :(
I came in to see a guy I know with some SUN stations at work
yesterday, nd we made up boot floppies...
My machines refuse to boot (both my IPC and the Sparc 1)
I put my hard drive in HIS sparc 1 (same model as mine) and
type boot floppy...(both my machines refuse to do this)
I see a SILO prompt but...it wont boot. It complains about
a missing lilo.conf and not being able to read block 6.
I am going to try the tftpboot.img when I can...but boot floppies would
be much more convinent.
I am wondering if maybe I need new floppy drives? I try on my sparc 1
boot fd() (BTW its ROM version is like 1.0)
that gives me an error...in fact test-floppy also fails but eject works fine
sigh...im going to try some more things when I get a chance...im
just sorta wondering if the boot floppy imigas are screwed?
