Sparc5 install disks

[Ian Keith Setford <ians@jove.acs.unt.edu>]

I am trying to install on a Sparc5.  When I boot from the floppy, I get
halfway through the boot and then the rescue disk is ejected. I push it
back in to continue but when I do I get the following message:

Kernel panic: unable to open initial console
No init found. Try passing the kernel init= 

I tried to use "linux init=/bin/sh" to boot with no success.  I am using
the disks from the stable tree.  I tried both the resc1440-2.2.1.bin and
the resc144--2.2.1-sun4u.bin.  Same problem with both.

This is my first install on a Sparc but I am very familiar with Intel
installs.

Anybody have advice?

TIA.

-Ian
