Have you tried it without the > external CD-ROM (booting from a floppy or network)? The old Apple (Sony) external cdroms have big external terminators, hard to miss. The machine has no floppy and I have have a local lan but nothing is set up for booting from a net connection. I would have to study up on this just to try it. I was hoping that Debian-Sparc 3.0r1 would support my particular hardware configuration but maybe not. Seems the ZX frame buffer is the killer. If anyone knows about the scsi looping error on install, I would like to hear. charles......
