How did you create the boot floppy? Did you copy the file to the disk, or did you write the file directly to the disk? (Did you use cp or did you do use dd?) What happened when you tried to boot from the CDROM? Unless you made your own CDs, the ISO images are bootable.
>From the looks of the message, it looks like you copied the file to the disk, without using either dd under Solaris (or other unix) or rawrite under windows. -----Original Message----- From: Rodrigo Maio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Sparc Classic and not boot Linux I am with 4 Sun Sparc Classic with SunOS 5 and want to place Linux, but i am not obtaining to give boot for the floppy and CD, and the tips in the site of the Debian are not helping very.
