I smell SPARCengine Ultra AX or Ultra AXi, with a single UltraSPARCII module. If I guessed correctly (I'm putting money on that, since this is the same problem I had.), there's one or two different paths you can take. One; boot off the CD. It works. Get or burn a bootable CD, and do this in OpenBoot: > setenv auto-boot? false > setenv boot-device cdrom > boot linux And you'll be set. Two; check your floppy drive. If it's not a Sun floppy, CHECK FOR A DS0 JUMPER. If you do NOT have a DS0 jumper, you can NOT use the floppy drive to boot. No way in HELL. Believe me; I've tried. Good luck! -Phillip R.
