The Sun seems connected only by a serial cable? It has no Ethernet
card? In that case, I believe it's over, I do not think the Sparc can
boot over a serial line.

Sorry, but this sentence does not seem to match the diagram. You mean
"the Pentium", not "the Athlon"? Which one is the DHCP server?

Therefore, installing the Sparc on the same Ethernet as the DHCP
server is the only solution.

Certainly (RARP and BOOTP are historic.)

Partly. Things are simpler when the "server" and your Sun are on the
same network (there is absolutely no need to be "directly connected",
but I'm not sure of what you mean by that). But DHCP can be relayed by
some routers (for a Cisco/IOS, see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00804412bf.html).

Here is a minicom configuration file

My last Ultra 1 died one year ago but I have two Ultra 10 still
working :-)

In theory, the machine should switch automatically to the serial port,
if it does not detect keyboard and screen. Did you remove them?

If, after removal, the serial port is still not used, it may be
because the machine was forced in not using it.

To stop the boot, from the keyboard:

STOP-A

Ctrl-A F

It depends on the setup of the Sun. A is the default, but may be the
previous owner changed to B. 

There is no automatic fallback from A to B.

If you want to use B and have no screen but a keyboard, you can type:

STOP-A (to go to the console)
setenv output-device ttyb
setenv input-device ttyb
reset

1) If you use the sarge installer, be sure you have rc2. rc1 made many
problems on my Sparcs.

2) Practically speaking, if your purpose is to run Debian and not to
beta-test the installer, it is better to install woody and then to
upgrade.

network booting and it works fine without the need to burn a CD for

I had a lot of problems with an Ultra 10 and the serial port A. The
solution I used was:

1) Plug in a Sun keyboard.

2) Before booting, Hold STOP and N and do not release them until the
machine booted. This will reset the NVRAM. Ordinary users typically do
not have brand-new Sparc, only second-hand machines and you never know
the previous settings.

3) Without seeing anything, type STOP and A simultaneously. You will
go to the boot prompt (but, without a Sun monitor, you will not see
it). Then type:

setenv output-device ttyb
setenv input-device ttyb
reset

Then, the second serial port, B, which uses a much more common DB9,
should work.

Installing Linux on a E250 with serial console: cannot get the boot prompt

2003-12-08 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer
Hello, everybody,

I try to boot a Sun E250 which has no monitor or keyboard. Following
the instructions in the UltraLinux FAQ
http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html>, I configured a PC with
FreeBSD and minicom to act as the serial console.

When I power on the machine in the Diagnostics position, I see the
boot messages. So my cables and emulator are OK. But sending Break
with Ctrl-A F does not seem to have any result: I cannot get the boot
prompt (ok).

When I power on the machine in Power-On mode, I get nothing on the
screen, not one message.

Last screen of messages in Diagnostics mode (after that, nothing
moves):

Done (same text, with a word about the Ultra). I thought that Debian was not

stuff and it's not 64-bits)?

> PS: No objection from the sparc team ?

Like for the Alpha, I said that bug reports about the Sparc version should be 
forwarded to the debian-sparc list. Otherwise, many package maintainers do not 
forward arch-specific bugs (and there is no "Architecture:" pseudo-header in 
the BTS).

Missing Sparc packages in the last packages

1999-02-16 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer

In the last Packages file for Sparc (Feb. 14th):

xlib6g depends on xbase, which is probably wrong (xbase is just a 
compatibility package because of the great X reorganization, no one should 
depend on it). It happens only on the Sparc.

Mozilla does not appear. This is a serious problem because it is the only 
graphical Web browser in "main". Should I remove it from the list of 
pre-defined packages sets?

I'm in charge of the list of pre-defined sets of packages for the people who

the packages which are defined in it are installed.

The people of the m68k team say the current list is too i386-centric and

Could people check the lists (included at the end or available by CVS in

their architectures? Thanks.

Well, I see the packet on the wire, but it doesn't mean the Sparc

Cannot install (floppy or net) on an Ultra 10

1998-04-23 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer

First attempt of Linux installation on a Sparc. Since I don't have a CD, 
I tried floppy and net, but both failed.

Floppy : when I type "boot floppy", the floppy starts, but a few seconds 
after, the console says "Bad magic number in disk label - Can't open disk 
label package". The floppy was prepared on a PC/WinNT: DOS format with 
and without a volume name (same result) then rawrite2 of resc1440 from 
"hamm". format finds no errors on the media.

Net : the RARP server is an Alpha Digital/Unix box. It detects the 
request:

Apr 22 16:41:52 josephine /usr/sbin/rarpd[26073]: Received 64 bytes:
Apr 22 16:41:52 josephine /usr/sbin/rarpd[26073]: RARP Broadcast from

Apr 22 16:41:52 josephine /usr/sbin/rarpd[26073]: Sent out response

but on the Sparc's console, I see nothing (if there is no RARP server, I 
see a "Timeout getting RARP request"), no revolving \. I have to "Stop A" 
to get the console prompt again. No TFTP requests come in, according to 
the Alpha's logs.

Does anyone know how to make the boot process more verbose? How can I 
know if the Sparc received the reply?
