Hi, Sorry if this question is a FAQ, I have tried searching with google and in the archives for an answer, but havent yet come across a solution yet for me.
I am trying to install debian on an Ultrasparc-II using boot floppies, but keep getting an error when trying to load the root image. I load the rescue disk, it boots fine until I get too VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER I insert the root floppy and press enter, it then gives me VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER I check that the disk is infact in and press enter again when it gives me VFS: Cannopt open root device "fd1" or 02:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 02:01 This is my first experience with a sparc machine, so have been thrown into the deep end with this. Any suggestions on where I am going wrong, or links to the answers would be very much appreciated. Regards, Jeremy Brooking
