You seem to have gotten ahold of the first CD set, which was not bootable. You have several choices: - Read the documentation for setting up a tftp (net) boot. After booting the tftpimage, you can use your CD for the rest of the installation. - Download the 2.2_rev0_CDa sparc CD image and use that. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
