Thanks to everyone who answered. The result of booting from the
installation CD_ROM of 20180516-10:56 is below. I generated the
diagnostic report because of reported CD-ROM failure on a prior attempt:
/pci@8,70/scsi@6
Target 6
Unit 0 Removable Read Only deviceTOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M14011007
{0} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@8,70/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args:
Can't open boot device
This was not a problem except with a serial console, and did not recur
after I removed a D-Link DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card that had been
/pci@8,70: Device 2.
I apologize for the length, but don't know enough about the hardware or
Linux internals to be confident in excluding anything.

Hm? Was COFF/a.out dropped yet from binutils? (That is not what I observe.)

I will add elftoaout.c directly to the GRUB sources. It needs some clean up so that it builds without -Werror, but I already have a test package where I integrated elftoaout.c into the GRUB sources. Now I just need to make the build process use it to convert the ELF binaries to a.out. And convert the manpage to the format used by GRUB. > Or will you add a.out support back into libbfd?

Are you going to move sparc-utils back into the tree then, so elftoaout can be used to convert the grub binary? Or will you add a.out support back into libbfd?
Re: Latest Debian Sparc64 installer
Hi, I had a problem with the driver, but i disconnected the second loop to the drive backplane, and it worked. It's a long shot, but i guess you could try?

Re: Latest Debian Sparc64 installer
Thomas Does your machine have FiberChannel disks (FC-AL?) There was a problem with the driver the last time I tried to install. That was a year ago, and I was too busy to fix it. My guess is that there is an endian problem in whatever boot code that calls the driver. I say that because the driver is old and has never been changed. You might want to try using an ATA or SCSI disk temporarily. Please let me know how it goes.
