Just for the record, I don't know about the PROM upgrade but I was able to install Debian from the floppy drive in an Ultra 1 (bought around 1997). -- Hermano Cabral
Re: Debian in a Ultra 5
You use a Debian SPARC CD. And boot off the cdrom.

Debian in a Ultra 5
Hi all, 6 months ago or so, I pretend to install Debian in a Ultra 5 in my school, but I cant. No I can, but I think that slink was released and somethings changed. I tried a boot disk for sparc debian in Ultra 5 and didnt work. What is wrong? How to install? Thanks,Paulo Henrique
