Hi all, I'm trying to get Sarge on a plain vanilla Ultra 5.
I'm using the RC2 release of the Debian-Installer Net-Install CD. I end up with the following: ok boot cdrom Resetting ... Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz), No Keyboard OpenBoot 3.11, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #10493455. Ethernet address 8:0:20:a0:1e:f, Host ID: 80a01e0f.

This is a Debian installation CDROM, built on 20041121. Keep it once you have installed your system, as you can boot from it to repair the system on your hard disk if that ever becomes necessary.

Can anybody nudge me in the right direction? Thanks ! Nico http://rdo.homelinux.org
