Boot problems
Hi,
I've just started to setup Debian on a SPARCStation IPX that I've
liberated from work. I've previously installed Linux on PCs, but have
no experience with SUNs.
On boot it fails the POST with the message 'Replace TOD/NVRAM' - I
assume this is the real time clock backup battery - if so is this
something that I can easily replace?
After this I boot off the rescue floppy but get the following messages:
Uncompressing Image..
IDPROM: Unknown format type!
Program terminated.
and get dropped back to the SUN boot prompt. Is this a problem with the
boot floppy or the hardware?
Thanks in advance,
