Ok, I am trying to put linux in my SS1+. So, I downloaded ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4cdm/tftpboot.img to my netbsd box, which I am using as rarpd/tftpd server. I configured the SS1+ to boot from le(). This is what happens:

ok

FYI, I have no problems installing netbsd in this same machine. Where am I screwing things up?

Incidentally, 307c00 = 3177472 in decimal, which is somewhat larger than the size of the said file in both the debian ftp site:

-rw-rw-r--    1 1176     1176      3161568 May 18  2002 tftpboot.img

and in my HD:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3161568 May 18  2002 tftpboot-debian.img

Would that be related to my problem? I ask because I was reading in the archive that someone had a similar situation (http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/1999/debian-sparc-199901/msg00105.html), though the difference is that the file did came truncated where in my case, the file is being reported as larger than what it was supposed to be. :P
