The other option if you cannot get the CD to boot is to use the tftpboot.img and do a net boot. The UltraSparc FAQ does a good job of explaining how this works. You will just need another linux box (sparc, ia32, whatever) attached to the same subnet (maybe same switch?) as the Ultra 5 you are installing onto... -tduffy
