Try www.sunhelp.com there are a number of links to vendors who sell used sun
equipment.

 Sorry to be slightly off-topic, but does anyone have any recent
 experience of how much second-hand Sun computers are worth? If so I'd
 be grateful for any data points (model and price) as there's a whole
 lot coming up for auction here soon and I might try to get one.

 The machines to be sold include: SS LX, SS 4, SS 5, SS 20, Ultra
 Enterprise, Ultra Creator, Ultra 6262, Ultra 10 (according to the
 catalogue which does not seem to have been compiled very carefully).

 (It's the remains of Ionica being sold off, by the way.)

Install on SS4

1999-04-26 Thread John N Derr
I recently obtained the Debian 2.1 releas I tried to install it on my
Sparc Station 4. Booting the CD-Rom failed with both kernels. It
displayed similar behavior as others have mentioned about the bus
reseting and not connecting. I also tried tftp from an Intel Linux box
with not luck. I do have an existing install of RH5.1 running. My
question is if I boot using the installed system, how could I start the
Debian install program to wipe away the existing Red Hat version.
I appreciate any advice.

I have successfully booted my machine throught tftp however I cannot mount my
cdrom.
I can boot into the install program if I disconnect the SCSI cable from the CD
ROM drive.
Here is the message that I get on my screen

esp0: disconnect, resetting bus
esp0: Resetting scsi bus
esp0: SCSI bus reset interrupt
esp0: SCSI bus reset interrupt
esp0: disconnect, resetting bus

Is there an updated tftp boot image that may have corrected this problem?
Thanks,
