Hello,
I'm new to debian and sparc. I'm trying to install
Debian on my SunBlade 100, but I'm stuck at the end of the first part of the
installation process.
I netboot the sun on a freebsd server using the
current tftpboot.imp of Ben Collins. The installation starts without problem. I
use the following partition sheme on the hard disk:
hda1 /boot
hda2 /swap
hda3 /root
hda4 /usr
hda5 /home
hda6 /var
I use the network installation.
I add the following module to the kernel : autofs,
nfsd, isofs.
All the download process goes well until it tries
to install the packages. It stops with the following message on the screen:
Installing essential packages.
At this stage the machine is completely frozen and
I have to cold boot.
I've tried to put the whole disk type (5) on hda3 :
same result.
I've tried not to include modules in the kernel :
same result.
I've tried both distribution : test and
unstable : same result.
Apparently, if I restart the machine and I try the
option Make Hard Disk Bootable, it tells me that it cannot install
SILO.
Thank you all for your help.
