Sorry we haven't been very responsive on this bug. We suspect that your problem was the same problem as bug 60173, which has been fixed. Can you see if the newest sparc boot-floppies (2.2.16) fix this problem? Can anyone on the list confirm or dispute that TFTP is working on a sparcstation 1+ in Potato? -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
