Whereas http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch02s01.html.en#sparc-cpus states "sun4, sun4c, sun4d, sun4m ... The last Debian release to support sparc32 was Etch, but even then only for sun4m systems. Support for the other 32-bits subarchitectures had already been discontinued after earlier releases." The Web page is wrong? Mon, 25 May 2009 11:29:27 +0200 Joël BERTRAND wrote, " ... good results with lenny and 2.6 kernel (only UP and sparcv8 [SS20] ..." Would UP be Ultra Panther or Ultra Plus? Not that I have either; just for interest. " ... sun4[cdm] stations, you have to use NetBSD 4.0.1 (or 5.0 in UP)." In http://www.netbsd.org/ports/sparc/ sun4c is listed as supported. Absence of reference to a release should mean that 5.0 works.
