tftpboot image contains itself a ramdisk, so there is no need to link debian-sparc-root to the ip addr. Which kind of hardware are you using (sparc, ultra) ? If old sparc could you try ftpboot.img (which is 2.0.35 based) ? Regards. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant."
