This is for flopppy booting, right?
Looking through the Sparc installation manual, sections "3.3.2 Boot
Device Selection" and "6.2 Booting from Floppy", I agree that
documentation-wise, there is a problem here. I need help, though,
since I can't test things myself -- my sparc doesn't boot from floppy
at all.
Doesn't 'boot floppy' do the right thing? Is it true you need the
load_ramdisk and prompt_ramdisk options?
