On january, I bought 8 sun1000. He try to install Aurora, 7.3 Suse, 7.1 Suse, a RedHat Linux Sparc 4.1 whithout success. For The distribution Suse, I try to format the disk, install the kernel, But at the reboot, the sun lacked. For Aurora, RedHat, a strange exception arrived.
How can I give my modest contribution to this problem ?
