Look in the slink boot floppies for sparc. You will see a 2.2.1 boot
floppy set.
As a side note, I will be unofficially releasing 2.2.14 based potato boot
floppies within a few days so we can get some testing done before release.
If you watch this list, I would appreciate any feedback (especially since
I don't have any non-sun4u hardware to do test installs on).
Thanks
