Hi Newsgroup. Somehow two old Sparc's dropped into my hands and because Solaris8 is such a bloat, I would give Linux a try. First I tried SuSE/Sparc, only to find out that the latest supported version is 7.3, which is quite old and... it misses importantn things like sound and java(sic!) Then I found debian 3.0 and i d/L all the iso's and burned them nicely on cd's.
But whenever I tried to install by booting from CD the system tries to locate the root on NFS, then on fdd and then panics. Too bad, I do *not* have a floppy in that Sparc's. Something i missed? Due documentation did *not* mention any usefule bootparameters. And sorry... no network available on the site where the Sun's reside (for now) TIA Karsten
