A good install on a SS2
With all that's been said about the SS2 and sun4c in general, I just
wanted to note that I've had no problems with mine so far. Once I found
where to download X (from the list archives), it worked pretty well
(though only as root, haven't looked why yet, but it's not the
/etc/X11/Xserver file). I did have to link /dev/mouse manually.
With my cg6, I have no problems with vc's switch, or with keymaps getting
messed up.
And, I had no problems with the tftpboot.img (I didn't have to pad it).
Though, I did have to insert the Driver disk, which I though was odd, and
sort of defeats some of the purpose of netbooting the thing in the first
place. I was using Debian hamm/x86 as a tftp server. Actually, I only
did the rarp step, I guess it figured out arp on it's own.
