so far I haven't got it to boot off the debian cd (but it does off the solaris cd) so haven't got to making partitions etc yet. I hope I don't need a fat partition for linux! (and AFAIK nt won't run on a sparc not that you would want to surely!). The debian sparc installation doc seems to be missing a few bits but I'm hoping if I get that far it'll work out. I'm downloading another (different) iso image to try that in the absence of any other ideas. That'll take another 2 days or so.
