Hello all, I just acquired a Sparcstation 20 Dual Ross 100 mhz 384MB. The unit came with a 4.5 and 2.1M drive as well as a copy of "red hat" linux (5.2) on CDrom. I partitioned the drives as follows: dev/sda device Flag start end Id system sda1 1 200 83 linux sda2 u 201 299 83 linux native sda3 0 1007 5 whole disk sda4 300 546 83 linux
sdb sdb1 0 986 83 Linux sbd2 U 986 1015 82 swap Sdb3 0 1016 5 whole disk when I install "red hat" all goes well until it is time to boot the system then I get an error the the boot device: / iommu/sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED],400000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 File and args: The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. So I downloaded the debian images off the net (went quite quickly on dec 24) and the install process goes flawlessly - until its time to boot then I get the same message. I must be doing something wrong that is obvious, I am not sure about the third partition being "whole disk" but I think I have read that this is necessary and fdisk seems to give this automatically. Anyone have a thought?? mark acierno
