Re: GRUB testers on SPARC needed



Please provide a link to the latest ISO with grub support for sparc64. I will happy to test if it works on my t5120, t5140, and T4-2 systems.

Hi!

We're in the process of migrating Debian for sparc64 from SILO to
GRUB as GRUB upstream is adding support for modern SPARC machines
thanks to the work of Eric Snowberg from Oracle.

In order to make sure GRUB works on all machines supported by the
sparc64 port, we need your help to test GRUB on your particular
hardware, the older your machine, the better.
