Hi everyone! (how many are on here anyway?) I'm a happy Debian user on the i386 platform. Recently we inherited a Sun Netra I5 server, and I'm unhappy with Solaris ... no development tools means no fun.
So, I decided to try debian-sparc. The rescue disk boots fine, but I can't get the system to load the "root" disk. I suspect this is because the I5 is a headless box, and uses a console off the serial port. I'm guessing that the kernel doesn't know that and is expecting a keystroke on the keyboard instead. Am I thinking right here? ... and if so, could someone help me out? I can't see an easy way of acquiring a Sparc kernel that is configured to use a serial console instead.
