bootfloppies for sparc 1+

1999-06-07 Thread Harold Hartley
I am wondering if the newer bootfloppies for sparc has been released or
not..
I have the ones when slink was released and wondering if there are newer
ones yet...

I'm also still having trouble trying to rid the old SunOS from my sparc 1+
drive as when I need to shutdown linux it falls into a loop with the
SunOS...
would I be better off if I just formatted(clean off the drive) and start
over from scratch...
I run a sparc 1+ (sun4c) and hope it will work better than it is now...

the SunOS is on the sd(0,0,0) and I had to start the linux(slink) at
sd(0,1,0)
and just seems to be a big pain...
the above are the way the Sun see's the Drive, and linux seems to see the
Drives as  sda and sdb...

hope someone has a solution

thanks
Harold

New beta release is sitting in
ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/sparc/exp/disks-sparc/current
It is 2.2.7 based kernel but it has a real problem with default keymap.
Keyboard is almost unsuable until you will have installed a keymap.  Hopefully,
the right key acts as enter, so hitting it several times will select the
sun qwerty keymap then load it :)
I'm waiting for a real stable kernel (2.2.9? 10? 11?) to upload a new one.

Regards.
