i would like to install debian on our sun blade 2500.
i'm able to netboot this image:
http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/daily/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img
unfortunatly it does not find any harddrives. is there a module i could
modprobe?
the second issue is, that the text-installer looks really crappy. it's
only black and white. so choosing an options is more trial and error.
any solution to that?
Are you intentionally trying to netboot from a Debian "Daily" Sparc
image build?
more or less.... :)
actually i couldn't find netboot images for sarge... and the cd wouldn't
boot... *shrug*
F.Y.I. I've been succesful with "Etch" and definately "Sarge" on
various Sun workstations.
i've tried etch beta2 now. installations works fine (except for the
horrible looking text installer...). when i reboot the machine, silo
loads successfully, the kernel is loaded (2.6.15), it's loading an
initial ramdisk (1689114 bytes at 0x33F802000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)...
and then i get:
Illegal Instruction
and i am dropped to the openboot prompt...
any idea what causes this?
f.y.i. the blade 2500 has a ultrasparc IIIi cpu and 2gb of ram.
