Re: boot from CD on ultrasparc5



as subject header says it's "ultrasparc5"

when boot=/dev/hdc was specified( >boot cdrom /boot/sparc64 boot=/dev/hdc) it gets a bit further before kernel panic hits but now it wants 'init' to be specified and I don't know what needs be specified for init.

thanks.

hi,

got full cd version of debian 3.0r0 for sparc and started installing.

did 'Stop-A' then typed 'boot cdrom'

and i got "cannot find /boot/sparc64.gz (Unknown isofs error)"

tried "/boot/sparc64.gz" and got kernel panic,
and tried 'expert <enter>' as was suggested on mailinglist earlier for

Ultra10, and didn't get any further either.

help please.

thanks.
