Problems with potato boot floppies
I'm trying to install potato on an IPC. Here's its breakdown:
24M memory
207M hard drive
CG3 card
2nd Lance Ethernet card
I grabbed the boot disks and tftpboot.img from marcus.debian.net
I keep getting Data Access Exceptions from the tftpboot.img, it never
gets anywhere.
I grabbed the sun4cdm floppies, the kernel boots okay, but then asks me
for a root floppy. It's been a while since I booted from floppy (slink),
but I thought the root image was on that disk... When I tried having
it use the rescue floppy, no go, it didn't work. When I put root.tar.gz
on a disk, it loads that up but then tries to mount it as a UFS filesystem...
This doesn't work and the kernel panics. Any suggestions?
