Excellent, thanks!
The machine is laid out as follows; Sparc5 with 64MB (sorry, don't
know which CPU...banner isn't telling at power-on or at OpenBoot
prompt!),
did you look on the back?
Ummm, no! Must think laterally... :-)

My bookmarks file overfloweth!
You're sure it's the sparc version?
Yep!
Try a different color recordable or a different brand...
Nope!
did you use md5sum to check the image?
Yep!
My sparcstation doesn't have a cdrom nor a floppydrive....so I used
'boot net' and it worked just fine....
As advised by many others, I'll try the netboot solution this morning.
Many thanks to all for the advice! ../Taras
