try this: linux image=/boot/sparc64 If thar doesn't work, you'll need to add an initrd option, which I can't recall the full path to the file on the CD drive. Probably something like this: /boot/sparc64 initrd=/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
