As you suggested, I did read off the floppy and compared it with the downloaded file. There were no errors. After gunzipping, there were still no errors in comparison.
My sparc1 has 4 banks of 4MB each (total 16MB). While detecting the hardware, the memory is detected as follows: available 13856K, kernel 1028K, data 1140K. I added 'append="mem=16m"' to the silo.conf file on the floppy and it still detected only 13856K. Could this be a possible problem cause? Also, before prompting for the root floppy, a warning message appears: floppy0 : Warning disk change called early Is this normal? Thank you, Ashok [EMAIL PROTECTED]
