Hi Robin
First let me say: I don't know anything about sparc specific issues. So my help is limited to "normal" hints.
Robin Harmsen wrote:- is there any way to manually eject the floppy
the only way a sparcstation5 can eject is by executing a command it hasn't got a button on the exterior. I tryed it throug boor prom this is done by doing:While installing can you switch consoles? If yes, is there an "eject" command?
pressing L1-A (Stop + A) to enter the boot prom then typing eject so the floppy is ejected then replacing the floppy then typing go to return to linux
but the I a error loop that the buffer I/O of fd0 is broken or something...
this has nothing to do with the installer.Perhaps you have to manually unmount /dev/fd0 befor ejecting like this? (This has to be tried/done on 2-nd console too.)
- if there is, does pressing <enter> after inserting the root floppy do anything or is it the same as for 2.4
when pressing <enter> without changing diskette I get the same as with 2.4
but I noticed that by pressing <enter> sereral times does something... this was without replacing the floppy
I will test this on 2.4 also, maby I will be able to get some more booting done, I will report my findings in the other bug thread..Sorry, can't help you there.
Bye Christian
