[suse-sparc] Hi and Netra

[Fredrik Petersson]

Hi all!   Im new to this list, Fredrik 27, software writer from Sweden, likes heavymetal music and fast bikes.   New to SUN but familiar with SUSE.   Well, a friend gave (nice friend) me a old Netra (like 400MHz, 512RAM, 2x8GB scsi…) I said thanks and planned to install SUSE on it and use it for a nameserver.   Ok just to plug the keyboard, well nope, a few hours later I got LOM to work with my cable and wintendo XP over hyperterminal. Sweet. I didn’t manage to get to the ok> prompt until I tried booting without the disks, ok I got to the ok prompt. If I tried probe-ide-all I can se my cdrom on primary slave (if I remember correct) and the correct modelname of the cdrom driver. I run “boot cdrom“ It says Cant open disk label package Cant open boot device   The cd that’s in a homemade (with nero) with suse 7.3 for sparc, downloaded from suse.   I have tried three other cd-rom players.   Any ideas of what I should check/do next? Are 7.3 a good version to use on my server, any alternatives?   Best regards   /Fredde
