This is for flopppy booting, right? Looking through the Sparc installation manual, sections "3.3.2 Boot Device Selection" and "6.2 Booting from Floppy", I agree that documentation-wise, there is a problem here. I need help, though, since I can't test things myself -- my sparc doesn't boot from floppy at all. Doesn't 'boot floppy' do the right thing? Is it true you need the load_ramdisk and prompt_ramdisk options? -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
