Hmm. Not too successful here on an IPX; the tftpboot.img gets as far as "Booting Linux..." and stops cold (I have to power-cycle the box, since it no longer responds to keystrokes). I also dd'd the sun4c rescue.bin to a floppy, but the IPX doesn't want to have any, and complains: Can't read disk label. Can't open Sun disk label package Can't open boot device Remade the floppy with a block size of 512 bytes, and this time it got as far as the "Welcome" screen and "Press <ENTER> to boot!", but then failed with Read error on block 73 Unknown /linux image format Same result with the 4cdm image. Tried the tftp image with a Sparc Station 2; it stops just as the IPX had done, at the "Booting Linux..." message. Also tried copying the 4c rescue.bin to / and booting it directly, but it fails with the message "Unknown /rescue.bin image format". (I don't know whether this is even intended to work, but gave it a try anyway.) Same with the 4cdm rescue.bin image. Sorry! John Chapman [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
