Hello all, I have recently installed Debian 2.2 on a Sparc 5 clone (axil).
Since my only SCSI CD-ROM is the poorly working Sony, I did the tftp install. This worked great. I am now trying to get my own tftp boot image to work. As an initial test, I built a new kernel, and am trying to run tilo with it and a ramdisk image I created. When I run tilo, I get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./tilo vmlinux.new vmlinux.new2 ramdisk tftpboot Converting ELF to a.out: PT 0 Entry: Loadable to 0xf0000000[0x151bbc] from 0x0[0x12b15f] align 0x10000 PT 0 Entry: Loadable to 0xf0000000[0x151bbc] from 0x0[0x12b15f] align 0x10000 GZipping...

Any suggestions? Can I run tilo to build an image for sun4m only (I have no need for two kernels to be downloaded)? Is there a good source of documentation to build an image for tftp booting? I didn't turn much on when building the kernel, why is it complaining about being large? My goal is to get this machine to be a diskless/headless router, so I don't need anything very fancy. Also, unrelated, I have an Magma sbus quad serial card. I started out installing OpenBSD since it had a driver for this card, but it was exceptionally unstable on my hardware, just as the documentation promised. Does anyone know of a Linux driver for this card? My searches didn't turn anything up, but it never hurts (too much) to ask. I have the OpenBSD driver code, and the O'Reilly Linix Drivers book, but if it's already been written I have bigger fish to fry. Thanks -Michael
