No matter how many different new floppies I use, the following sequence occurs (paraphrased) on my Sparc 2:
ok boot floppy SILO <the Debian intro> boot: <enter> Error reading block 65 /linux not valid image (or words to that effect) I assumed that it was a disk read problem that basically f-ed the image, except that multiple new floppies rawritten with the file had the same error. So I thought the .bin file was maybe corrupted, so I downloaded again. Same problem. Only other weird thing on the hardware is that the NVRAM battery is dead (I'll replace it next week), but I don't think that would affect anything except the Ethernet address settings and the clock. I could, of course, be wrong. The 2 ST1480 424MB drives in the Sparc aren't even partitioned yet. Any ideas?
