Hi!

I have SPARCStation 1 and tried new boot disk from your ftp site. It works.
And I installed Debian Linux on it. 
But there is another sparc 1 and its IDPROM died.
I try boot it from boot disk and get error message:

	IDPROM: Unknown format type
	
Is it posibale install Linux on Sparc with died IDPROM?
And what need make if that's right?

Thanks,
	Grigory Kljuchnikov (griman@ispras.ru).
