I'm trying to load the latest woody stable release on a Sun Microsystems SPARCserver 1000E which Debian supposedly supports. Information on the system:
CPU: Two SuperSPARCs at 60 Mhz RAM: 512 megabytes Video: TurboGX Ethernet: Standard built in 10 baseT probe-scsi at OpenBoot reports: ok probe-scsi Target 0 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST32430N 059400698228Copyright (c) 1995 Seagate All rights reserved Target 5 Unit 0 Removable Tape EXABYTE EXB-8505SMBANSH206U0 06 169568 Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Read Only device SONY CDU 561 SUNMSCD1.9k Which does correspond to the hardware I currently have in this machine. I type in boot cdrom and it is able to boot from the Debian CD. But it doesn't go far, when I hit enter at the silo prompt this is what I get: boot: Uncompressing image... Data Access Exception And it then immediately drops me to the ok prompt. Does anybody have any ideas as to what's wrong as I'm stumped. I really don't want to go with Solaris (whichever version supports this machine as Solaris 9 does not) and I've already tried FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD with zero luck. Your help is appreciated.
