Re: boot CD/Floppy fot sun4u (UltraSPARC 5/10)
thanks!
will try this on Monday @ work with a better Internet connection. do you
have an idea what's wrong with 2.2r7?
yes, I saw the info about the OpenBoot bug preventing from booting
floppies... downloaded a patch from Sun. did not applied yet, but maybe will
try if CDs still not work.
