Bad form to follow up my own post, but I was able to get past

I am attempting to install firmware on a SunBlade 100. I need
to first upgrade the PROM. I have tried a few different ways, but I
cannot make a CD (with the PROM) that the machine will boot. Does
anyone know how to repackage the PROMs into ISO images that the Sunblade
will boot?

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I cannot find the answer on

to install them on a SunBlade 100. On my SunBlade the OBP version is 4.0.45

In the Debian GNU/Linux system, the .config used to build kernels is

Hello,
I'm trying to install debian on a SunBlade 100 with a SunExpert 3D lite.
As mentionned in the list some time ago, I have download the file

and make a boot over the net with tftp.
The tftpboot.img seem to have problem
