If kernel size still >10 Mb, from tftpboot.sh, add sparc* ;-). case "$arch" in arm* | i386 | mips | mipsel) cp $kernel $tftpimage.tmp ;; *) echo "uncompressing kernel" gzip -cd $kernel > $tftpimage.tmp ;; esac But please be sure, and check first, are elftoaout & piggyback64 really able handling such an compressed kernel? https://sources.debian.net/src/sparc-utils/1.9-4/ Thanks, Frans van Berckel
