Re: Network Install bogs
How can I select the modes? I know in freeBSD installation there are modes, how do I do that in Debian Linux? BTW, I tried both http and ftp.

I am sorry, I am a little lost. Can you please show me a sample disk partition?

Re: Network Install bogs
I am sorry, what nunmber is that? I am looking at the "list codes", and I am assuming its 5 - Whole disk, or 6 for SunOS stand. My partition looks like this now: /dev/hda1 r 1 8000 4031496 83 Linux Native /dev/hda2 u 8001 8700 352296 82 Linux Swap /dev/hda3 8701 17660 4515336 5 Whole disk Naresh On Sat, 18 Jan 2003, Ben Collins wrote: > On Sat, Jan 18, 2003 at 11:31:41AM -0500, Naresh Reddy wrote: > > Okay, I did the netboot, remouted the swap + root drive (by selecction the > > alternate). > > Press Alt+F2 > > > > #fdisk /dev/hda > > > > type 'p' > > > > /dev/hda1 r 1 8000 4031496 83 Linux Native > > /dev/hda2 u 8001 8700 352296 82 Linux Swap > > There's part of your problem.

Okay, I did the netboot, remouted the swap + root drive (by selecction the alternate).

Re: Network Install bogs
Okay, I somehow figured out how to get the base installed :) After it installs it says, "Make system bootable" and I selected it. However, the system does not boot. It says "the selected file is not executable"...

Re: Network Install bogs
Okay, I did do a wget from the command line. I did one wget to my local ftp & web server (to get a binary image, 650 Megs) and I got GREAT speeds. I then did a wget to the debian mirrors, and the same thing happens...it "stalled". Maybe my Masq Server needs to be rebooted.

Re: Network Install bogs
Ben, To add on the last post; I have concluded that there is NO hardware problems because, I just transferred a large ISO (650megs) from the Ipmasq server to the Sun Box, and I got very good speeds, and it did copy the ISO to the Sun Box. However, when I try to download an ISO to that box I get good speeds for about 60 secs, and it just "stalls" according to wget.

Re: Network Install bogs
Ben, I guess I am on a firewall because I am using Ip-MASQ. I doubt I messed up my ip-masq script, because I am using the default script from IP-MASQ HOWTO. I am NOT using any proxy. And I have tried both ftp and http. Still have problems :( Thanks, Naresh On Fri, 17 Jan 2003, Ben Collins wrote: > On Fri, Jan 17, 2003 at 10:02:01AM -0500, Naresh Reddy wrote: > > I am trying to do a network install of Debian (Woody) on an Ultra Sparc10.

Network Install bogs
I am trying to do a network install of Debian (Woody) on an Ultra Sparc10. I already set up tftp and it boots the image fine, however when I set up the network and try to get rescue.bin from the debian mirror it stops downloaded it at about 50%. When I open up another console (Alt+F2) I can ping out fine (ip masq), and even ping the debian server(s). So I don't think there is anything wrong with my network. Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks, Naresh
