Hello! I'm new to this list and a SPARC newbee. I received an old SPARCstation 10 from my office...
On my way to find an OS for this architecture else than SUN OS or Solaris I was loocking for a Linux distribution an finaly foung Debian. I downloaded "resc.bin", "drv.bin" and all the other floppy images and rawrited them... O.k. I booted with the resc-disc and all of a sudden the install-proces stops with the message that no known framebuffer was found. Then I booted the SPARCstaton 10 whith TFTP from my Suse Linux PC--> O.k. I exported a directory on my Suse Linux and placed then coresponding files in it. The installation process starts on the SPARC and after I've set up the Network I wanted to install with NFS. The "dstrap" asks me in which directory the neded file "resc-2.2.1.bin" or so (d'ont remember) can be found. But when I type in the correct path the file can't be found. So what am I doing wrong? - 1st method with floppy: Do I have to download an other image that supports my framebuffer - 2nd method with NFS: Do I have to set some specific rights for the mentioned files in order to give "dstrap" the right to execute or read it? Thx Pino P.S. Sorry for my english
