Hurmph, In my zeal to update the debian-cd scripts for sparc, I first made changes to the debian-cd script tools/boot/potato/boot-sparc, so that it would write an "El Torito" bootable CD .
Well duhh, that was stupid on my part! After recovering a bit (and taking a handfull of smart pills) I realized that if one wanted to make a bootable sparc CD image on an intel host, perhaps I should read up a bit on silo and intelsilo. Not being a 'sparc' guy, I'll admit that I am now only partially confuzed about how to do it. Therefore, I have put the file back to an original state, as I continue to mull over how to doit. So..i am looking for help If you could take a look at the file in the current CVS boot-disks that gets installed as: /usr/share/debian-cd/tools/boot/potato/boot-sparc Perhaps someone might have an idea on how to get it working with intelsilo. I think it is close. Thanx, -- Jim Westveer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------ "Bother," said Pooh as he struggled with sendmail.cf.
