Re: installation issues
hi,
yes, you don't need floppies with this image; I tried this .iso lastly on
Ultra SPARC, and it worked perfectly.
just a stupid question, but ... did you tried selecting network installation
after the image boots? or it does not reach this stage? and that's sure your
CD with the image is not corrupted any way?
just another Debian newbie's answer:-)

Hi all,
The new iso gets me to a point where it asks for the root floppy. When I put
it in (I've tried 4 different root floppies) it says I didn't specify the
type of ufs filesystem, then shows me a mount string, then bad magic number,
kernel panic and hit L1-a for boot prom.
Any ideas why I can't get past this? I thought on a CD install I didn't need
floppies. Am I wrong???
Thanks for the newbie advice,
Bryan

I had a similar problem which could be bypasswd by using this iso image.
