Dear list, we successfully netboot a Blade 2000 donated to us with Etch's netboot install disk. We went through the Sparc install instructions and, switching to the second console at the right times (the installer could be more helpful here), also installed firmware-qlogic which allowed us to continue with the installation. We have a complete lvm-based file system on our disk. The update-initramfs was executed.
After a reboot the SILO is found. Return is pressed and immediately an illegal instruction is raised. There is no ready Debian sparc machine at our disposal, which means that we cannot construct an image to boot ourselves, right? We would not mind netbooting in routine, but we found nothing that we could boot that is not an installer and that would use the installation we have already performed. And then there is the firmware-qlogic package that we need, too. What is it that we should try? Kind regards and many thanks for your help Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
