All: I have a Sun v240 (no CD drive) that I am trying to netboot
and install Debian. I have downloaded the latest TFTP images from here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ports-status I have worked through the TFTP/BOOTP/DHCP settings and have
the v240 downloading a boot image via TFTP. The image loads and takes me
through the Debian installation process. Everything works great during
the installation process. (The only snag is tg3 ethernet driver related
on the 2.4 image – but I have a 3Com 90x card that plays well with the
system). The problem I am having is that after the system is
installed, and attempts to boot the first time, I receive the following output: Sun Fire V240, No
Keyboard

OpenBoot 4.8.2, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial

Ethernet address 0:3:ba:40:e7:6b, Host ID:

Rebooting with command:
boot
Boot device: disk File and args: SILO Version 1.4.9 boot: Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image... Loaded kernel version 2.4.27 Loading initial ramdisk (3031040 bytes at 0x400000 phys,
0x40C00000 virt)... | Remapping the kernel... done. After this, there is nothing. This happens with the
2.6 image (kernel 2.6.8). The system originally had 4gb RAM, but I
removed half of it to see if that would help – nothing. I’m
trying to avoid buying a CD-ROM drive to see if one of those images does any
better. Does anyone have any other ideas/things to try before I hunt down
a CD-ROM drive? Thanks, Jared Valentine |
