Debian network installation

2007-07-28 Thread Sunil Amitkumar Janki

I have bought a Sun Enterprise 250 server and would like to install
Debian on it. The SCSI DVD ROM player seems broken so I can't
use it (its led flashes all the time).

Is it possible to install Debian via network boot from OpenBoot
Firmware using boot net or tftp?

Hi,

Yeah, every time I bought a used SUN Ultra, the CD-ROM was gone, broken,
shaky, or went south after a couple of days/weeks...

Is it possible to install Debian via network boot from OpenBoot
Firmware using boot net or tftp?

Sure. boot net on the prompt will attempt a tftp boot. Check out the
install instructions from debian, it's all there.

HTH,
Uli
