I think there's still something wrong with that symlink. The output of 'file' for a sparc kernel should look like: /boot/vmlinux-2.2.18: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1, statically linked, not stripped Maybe you should double check that.. > So I still have something wrong.

Even if you don't plan on using SunOS or Solaris, I think you'll have to create a Sun disklabel and a "Whole disk" partition (as partition 3) with fdisk. Check these out. HTH, -- Ragga
