I tried the rescue.bin of potato (2000-02-04) and the problem with the
SONY CDROM diseapper, then i put the root.bin and it didn't work. I got
a long list of strings and then the floppy was ejected. Any idea ?


My question is: can i use potato floppies to start the installation
process and then use the slink cdrom distribution. If yes, is there
something special to do. 

P.S.: this sparc can't access the internet and i can't use tftpboot or
download the entire potato.

Thanks
