Sun Blade 100
Hi,
I've been trying to install any secure version of Linux onto a Sun
Blade 100 running Solaris 8. I've recently upgraded its open boot
prompt to 4.10.3. it's POST version is 2.0.1. I've downloaded and
burned a set of Debian Linux CDs version 3.01. As far as I can tell I
can only install from CDs because I am working a lab and can not set up
a RARP server so I can't do TFTP boot. After inserting the CD and
typing `boot cdrom` I get it to boot up the installer, but when I try
to install I get the message:
Loading initial ramdisk....
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
then I'm back to the ok prompt. Does anyone have any idea where I can
get a copy of Debian CDs that will boot install Debian onto my machine.
I don't even need anything as fancy as a dual boot, I just want to
wipe the machine I've currently got and install Linux. Thanks.

p.s. From what I can tell on the web Debian is probably the best way
to go in terms of getting linux on my box, but if I can't and someone
knows another version of linux that might work I would gladly try that
as well. Thanks again.
