Hello, I have looked for information on this at the S/Linux site and the Debian Sparc Port site and don't know what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install Debian on a SparcStation 4/330 (deskside model) via a netboot. The tftp side of things seems to be working OK (the boot box is a debian Intel box). The instructions from the Debian site seem to work fine until the kernel is actually being loaded. I get the following After doing Stop-A....
>b le(0,0,0) Boot: le(0,0,0) Using IP Address 172.16.1.2 = AC100102 Booting from tftp server at 172.16.1.1 = AC1000101 Downloaded 2516353 bytes from tftp server. Illegal instruction "0x00158E04" was encountered at PC 0x00004004 > I beleive this box to be an old unmodified 4/330. The boot PROM seems to be old from the discriptions of the instructions (no OK prompt, instead a ">" and I have to use the b le(0,0,0) syntax) Am I doing something wrong? Is the 4/330 really supported by S/Linux or Debian Sparc Linux? Am I doomed to failure? Is there a different kernel image I should be using? Thanks for any insights or help, Robert Doiel (attempting on impress my kids with a Sun running Debian....)
