RE: boot from CD on ultrasparc5



Hi, Christian and all.
I have Linux boot, swap and native partitions, along with a Solaris swap and
native
partition on my Ultra 5. When I use the boot cdrom and rescue procedure, how
do I
get Debian installed into the Linux partitions, without destroying the
Solaris
install? I have a PROM alias already set up to boot the linux partition, so
I'd like
to not mess with the partition table at all, if possible.
