Installing Debian on SUN Netra T1 D200
Greetings,
I am trying to install Debian on a SUN Netra T1 D200 using a sarge image
from 03/16/2004.
Here's the error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
I would sincerely appreciate any help. I've included the full text of the
install attempt below. Thank you.
Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux sarge!
This is a Debian installation CDROM, built on 20040316.
Keep it once you have installed your system, as you can boot from it
to repair the system on your hard disk if that ever becomes necessary.
WARNING: You should completely back up all of your hard disks before
proceeding. The installation procedure can completely and irreversibly
erase them! If you haven't made backups yet, remove the rescue CD from
the drive and press L1-A to get back to the OpenBoot prompt.

by applicable law.
