I'm trying to install Debian on a Sparcstation IPX. I have an existing Debian system with rarpd and tftpd running on it, and the tftpboot.img file is in the /tftpboot directory. I have symlinked C0A80013.SUN4C to it, and when I boot up the Sparc box and tell it to boot net, it is able to grab the image from this host. I see a series of scrolling hexadecimal numbers, followed by:
TILO Selecting sun4cdm kernel Booting Linux... And then nothing. The system seems to hang, because I can't hit stop-a and get back to a prompt or anything, I have to power-cycle it. I have tried this with both the potato and woody boot images. It seems that some other people have had similar problems, but I can't see that any of them have found a solution yet. Is this a known issue? Input would be appreciated. Thanks! /owen
