hi all
i'm a pretty experienced x86 Debian user, though this is my first time
installing a SPARC
here's where i'm at:
1) boot, Stop-A, ok
2) "boot cdrom"
3) SILO prompt
4) enter "linux"
at this point the kernel loads, ramdisk loads, and Debian installation
begins with language, keyboard, country choice.
then we get to the CD-ROM hardware detection phase and the installed
loads some drivers off the CDROM and then says
"Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that
the CD-ROM was not in the drive. Try again to mount the CD-ROM?"
Werid enough - thats the same CD-ROM that loaded the program that is
telling me this. And at this point, the keyboard starts acting bizzare
and pressing Enter or REturn just toggles the selection, but doesnt
submit it.
Any ideas what's up? Seems extremely bizarre to me.
