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.img unfortunatly 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? It's a crap shoot to get working if you are? It's great, if you want to help out for future builds; but for a daily workstation forget it. Things will break left and right. F.Y.I. I've been succesful with "Etch" and definately "Sarge" on various Sun workstations. Regards, -- JD. Brown
