Re: sparc installation
Maybe I got the boot args wrong. I was going by the diskless HOWTO, and I had it working at one point in time. RARP on boot server points to the uncompressed a.out kernel image (compiled elf2aout on i386) and the kernels do boot to the point where they can't mount root FS on 00.00 ok boot net nfsroot=192.168.1.42:/mount/nfs/nfsroot/goober . :VFS: Cannot open root device 00:00 :Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 As far as I can tell here, everything's set up as it should be. I'm booting the 2.2.14 kernel from the last set of floppy images.

problems with libgc5
Hello, Could someone please try compiling w3m-ssl in non-US with latest libgc5-dev ? The compilation always segfault on me, and I suspect a libgc5 bug (since I can't compile libgc5 either because of segfaults). -- Madarasz Gergely [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.

Re: sparc installation
Still no go.. ok boot net nfsroot=192.168.1.42:/mount/nfs/nfsroot/goober ip=192.168.1.50 even specifying ALL the options to ip= and adding root=/dev/nfs to the boot paramaters. What else can I try?

What else can I try? That's pretty much it. It works perfectly for me. I suspect there is an underlying thing that either you or I am missing :) -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
