install on Ultra 10
I have downloaded the woody floppy images for sun4u architecture and
dd'd them on 1.44 floppies. I am reasonably sure the floppies are
good - in any case, after the dd, I did a cmp and it succeeds (no
differences).
After booting into Solaris (SunOS 5.8) I hit Stop-A and get the boot
prompt. I insert the floppy and say "boot floppy". The floppy drive
makes spinning-up noise ... and I get this:
Bad magic number in disk label
The installation manual mentions disk labels, but in the context of
partitioning, so I took it to apply only to hard disk partitions.
What to do?
