Hi Ben, yes I have tried the string you give below (on a CD burnt at 4x) and I get the Fast MMU Miss error just after it says initializing RAMdisk prior to loading the kernel. So the only way I can get the kernel to boot at all is with your netiso image.
I was on a much older version of the OBP and couldn't get anything to boot, went to the newest, can at least boot now. Does anyone have a suggestion for what version of the OBP I should be using? Is there anyway to get Debian installed using you netiso image? I just says I need to specify a valid root= (at the boot: prompt I have been typing /sparc64 ide=nodma) Thanks, Warren. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, November 5, 2002 5:57 pm Subject: Re: Sun Blade 100 config > On Tue, Nov 05, 2002 at 04:32:01PM +1300, Warren Hughes wrote: > > Hi all, I am trying to get Woody running on my Sun Blade 100.
