While trying to install woody on a ultra sparc I get the error that

it isn't because it is named just sparc64.
So I can get it to boot by entering /boot/sparc64 at the boot: prompt, but
then I get an error about no
root. I would make/fix a bootable floppy, but my system doesn't have one,
nor do I have a network
system to boot/install from.
What should the root= be set to when booting off of CDROM?
try this:
linux image=/boot/sparc64
If thar doesn't work, you'll need to add an initrd option, which I can't
recall the full path to the file on the CD drive. Probably something
like this:
/boot/sparc64 initrd=/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin
