RE: Sparc netinstall CD image?
I went ahead and downloaded a full CD ROM image, and now when I boot that I get the same error that I got when booting with the install floppies.
"Bad magic number in disk label."
I see that a lot of people have had this problem, but I can find no information about fixing it. Help?

Subject: Sparc netinstall CD image?
I've been trying to find a Debian Sparc netinstall image to use to get Debian installed on my Sparcstation 20. I did a tftp install on my Sparc IPX once, and I have no desire to go through that again.
I grabbed sparc-mini.iso from http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/ and burned it. When I boot the ss20 with that, the system boots, I see the SILO prompt, it tells me to hit enter to start the Debian install. I do that, and it starts to uncompress the image, then says something about a memory test, and the whole system reboots back to the openboot prompt. I can't seem to get past that point. Any suggestions, anyone? Thanks :)
