Hi there, It seems to me as if the kernel image on Sparc is a gzip'ed binary, right? (/etc/silo.conf points to a file vmlinuz, and file(1) says "gzip data") Why is this?? I have troubles here using the "mknbi-linux" command from the "netboot" package. "mknbi-linux" complains about "Bad magic number" if I feed the kernel iamge file to it. Even unzipping doesn't help- mknbi-linux still complains about "Bad magic number".
So ... How it is possible to create a net-bootable image of a kernel? Any hints are appreciated! :-) -- cya ANDI HiWi bei der Systemadministration am IMS, Universitaet Stuttgart -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (E-Mail) AKA Andreas Jaehnigen @ 2:2471/1464.10 (Fidonet) Homepage http://members.xoom.com/andi_j --------------------------------------------------------------------------
