ok... At he MIT Flea Market I puyrchased another Sun Station this month. I got me an IPC this time. It seems faster but... I still can't get Linux on it :( I came in to see a guy I know with some SUN stations at work yesterday, nd we made up boot floppies... My machines refuse to boot (both my IPC and the Sparc 1) I put my hard drive in HIS sparc 1 (same model as mine) and type boot floppy...(both my machines refuse to do this) I see a SILO prompt but...it wont boot. It complains about a missing lilo.conf and not being able to read block 6. I am going to try the tftpboot.img when I can...but boot floppies would be much more convinent.
I am wondering if maybe I need new floppy drives? I try on my sparc 1 boot fd() (BTW its ROM version is like 1.0) that gives me an error...in fact test-floppy also fails but eject works fine sigh...im going to try some more things when I get a chance...im just sorta wondering if the boot floppy imigas are screwed? -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
