Could you please try this with the 2.3.5 or better boot-floppies? Those are perhaps not prime time but we aren't really working on the 2.2.x series of boot-floppies anymore. Can any one on the debian-sparc list confirm or infirm that TFTP works for SS2 or other sparc models? I have in Bug#97220 a report that debootstrap segfaults immediately after booting. I hope some of the people on this list can play around with the new Woody boot-floppies and file intelligent bugs, whether it's on the kernel or boot-floppies or whatever package. That will make the woody release a whole lot better. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
