booting from floppies on an IPC



Hey All,
Have created the boot floppies (rescue, drivers 1, drivers 2) and tried getting my sparc ipc to boot from them. below is the message that it returned to me (initiated via serial):

ok boot fd()linux
Booting from: fd(0,0,0)linux
Can't read disk label.
Can't read boot blocks.
Boot load failed
ok

I have also tried booting from cdrom, but it cracks it (bad magic numbers, etc).

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Regards,
William
