Hi all, I would be appreciated if someone could give me some help:
There is an installation report (please refer to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402282 for detailed info) on a Sun Blade 100 machine. This machine doesn't boot with recent daily builds of the debian-installer (2.6.17 or 2.6.18 kernels). Boot up hangs at "Booting linux ..". Frans Pop suggested to try with boot argument "video=atyfb:off", but the bugreport submitter wrote me, that he is unable to give additional boot parameters, because he don't know where the cursor actually is and there are messed up characters on the screen. (I am partly unsure about what he's talking, he is not very precise with his comments and his english is a problem as well, I think. As I don't own a sparc machine, I cannot try this out.) This machine contains Openfirmware, correct? Are there problems known ahout this (messed up display etc.)? Can someone give me instructions how to add additional boot parameters to that machine? Are there any special things to note?
