i would like to install debian on our sun blade 2500. i'm able to netboot this image:http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.imgunfortunatly it does not find any harddrives. is there a module i could modprobe? the second issue is, that the text-installer looks really crappy. it's only black and white. so choosing an options is more trial and error. any solution to that?Are you intentionally trying to netboot from a Debian "Daily" Sparc image build?
more or less.... :)actually i couldn't find netboot images for sarge... and the cd wouldn't boot... *shrug*
i've tried etch beta2 now. installations works fine (except for the horrible looking text installer...). when i reboot the machine, silo loads successfully, the kernel is loaded (2.6.15), it's loading an initial ramdisk (1689114 bytes at 0x33F802000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)...F.Y.I. I've been succesful with "Etch" and definately "Sarge" on various Sun workstations.
and then i get: Illegal Instruction and i am dropped to the openboot prompt... any idea what causes this? f.y.i. the blade 2500 has a ultrasparc IIIi cpu and 2gb of ram.
