Comments/Problems:
I burned both the netinst and business card version.
I could not get either to install or get to the point of installation..
Closest I got was with this: ok> boot cdrom linux root=/dev/rd/0 rw
I was unable to boot to rescue either.
The normal error I get when simply booting to the cdrom and not passing any special arguments is as follows: (normal looking output.. ) VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Mounted devfs on /dev Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Press L1-A to return to boot prom
The error using netinst cd and "root=/dev/rd/0 rw" arguments: (normal looking output..) VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay Warning: unable to open an initial console. Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Press L1-A to return to boot prom
The error using business card cd and "root=/dev/rd/0 rw" arguments was that it
looked normal at first.. Then it turned the top half of my screen red and i got stairstep'd ouput saying "segmentation fault" repeatedly.
