Hi, I've just started to setup Debian on a SPARCStation IPX that I've liberated from work. I've previously installed Linux on PCs, but have no experience with SUNs.
On boot it fails the POST with the message 'Replace TOD/NVRAM' - I assume this is the real time clock backup battery - if so is this something that I can easily replace? After this I boot off the rescue floppy but get the following messages: Uncompressing Image.. IDPROM: Unknown format type! Program terminated. and get dropped back to the SUN boot prompt. Is this a problem with the boot floppy or the hardware? Thanks in advance, -- simon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
