Thank you! Oh no! I'm stuck again. On starting the base system installation I get this error: Couldn't download devfsd I've tried installing the packages from my 3.0r1 binary 1 CD and from http://www.uk.debian.org/debian and I get the same error for each. Thanks, Phil

I've just downloaded and tried the new tftpboot.img and it's working fine for me. Thank you! Phil
"Neither SBUS nor PCI found" error on Blade 100 tftp install
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian on my newly acquired Blade 100 and have totally come a cropper. First, I tried burning a CD-R of 3.0r1 and booting with the command: boot cdrom /boot/sparc64 initrd=/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin I see the "Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0!" message and then Loading initial ramdisk... Fast Data Access MMU Miss and I'm returned to the ok prompt. Looking through the mailing list archives, this seems to be a fairly common problem and the general advice seems to be to try a rarp/tftp net installation instead. That didn't seem like too big of a deal, so I set up rarp/tftp on a Debian box on the same local network and tried "boot net". I get the usual Sun banner and then: Rebooting with command: boot net Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1 File and args: 464c00 Remapping the kernel... done. Booting Linux... Neither SBUS nor PCI found. Program terminated and again I'm back at the OpenBoot prompt. Now *this* doesn't seem to be a common problem! The machine is happily running Solaris 9 (as far as I can tell) and Openboot is at version 4.10.6, in case that's relevant. Thanks for any suggestions. Phil
