Hello, I just tried to install woody on a SparcStation 20. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in the boot-floppies. I boot via tftp, and everything is smooth until the phase where the install system looks for the "rescue disk" to install the kernel. The file rescue.bin doesn't exist...
The version I used is 3.0.22-2002-04-07 Any hints? Here's the messages from the system: --- PROMLIB: Sun Boot Prom Version 3 Revision 2 Linux version 2.2.20 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Fri Nov 16 15:48:02 EST 2001 ARCH: SUN4M TYPE: Sun4m SparcStation10/20 Ethernet address: <something> Boot time fixup v1.6. 4/Mar/98 Jakub Jelinek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
