Re: Still probelms to boot from SD



And here is mine:
slinux:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 4 heads, 109 sectors, 4824 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 436 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             0      3500    763000   83  Linux native
/dev/sda2  u       3500      3900     87200   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda3          3901      4824    201214   83  Linux native

This was a Solaris 2.3 disk, I installed sid (Debian 2.0 for Sparc) on it,
way back.  I do not recall if I got this right first time, or not.  What
is your fdisk output?
