Q: Did I detect a documentation bug?Yes, the manual needs updating for Sparc. Especially as the flavors that are mentioned there sun4cdm and sun4u no longer exist.
BTW: I think it makes also sense to update this part (I think for many platforms): http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/sparc/ch04s04.html.en ### # /sbin/rarp -s client-hostname client-enet-addr ### Especially this one drove me nuts, since the option -s is not supported since somewhen in kernel 2.3. The statement below '.. recompile the kernel ...' is meaningless. You need rarpd and /etc/ethers. Yep it is written below, but who reads all the manual -- I did not :-( I think the kernel 2.2 can be safely dropped, or at least moved below the kernel 2.4 part. Cheers Wolfdieter
