Hi, I'm having big trouble creating the installation disks for installing Debian on an Ultra-10 sparc machine. I have fetched the binaries (sun4u) from a ftp mirror, but don't know how to create valid boot disks. Each time I try to boot the rescue disk I get "Bad magic number in disk label".. I use dd to write the image to the disk, but that isn't sufficient. I've tried fdformat, format and rmformat to create a magic number on the disk, as well as fdisk for creating a partition.
Nothing works. Please help me! I run Solaris 8 on the Ultra-10 on which I create the installation disks, and the destination machine is identical. Thanks in advance, Per Jönsson Blekinge Institute of Technology Sweden
