I just tested this again on the ultra 5 with IDE plus scsi adapter
and also an ultra 60 with scsi only.
1. The netinst daily-build that I have labelled 22 March installs
without issue on both machines.
2. Using the netinst daily-build of 31 May, the partitioner fails
if I try to use the whole disk, but works if I create an empty Sun
disk label with fdisk ("s"), return to "Detect disks", delete the
two partitions, and install to the largest available free space.
3. Of course, using the netinst daily-build of 31 May, the IDE
"Detect and mount CD-ROM" issue and the minor silo issue (this is
not the show-stopper as in Alpha1) only occur on the IDE machine.

I don't know if he tried this.

I guess I was just lucky with the image I downloaded at the end of March. However, using the daily build of 31 May, I also ran into this partitioner bug, although I managed to work around it by loading the fdisk-udeb module and creating the partitions from the 2nd console with fdisk. It wasn't quite what I wanted, but I was able to continue with the installation. Two other issues: First, the internal IDE cd-rom drive in the ultra 5 (secondary master) was not detected from inside the installer, so I installed from an external scsi cd-rom. Second, to get silo to boot I had to change root= in silo.conf from /dev/sdb2 (I also have a scsi drive sda) to /dev/hda2 Given these issues, it might be easier to install lenny, then upgrade Xorg or whatever without using the squeeze installer, which was my second suggestion to philo.

If you put /boot directly on your root partition, then you can encounter it. Last time I tried to install from a daily built squeeze image, I ran into http://bugs.debian.org/579948, which prevented me from doing meaningful partitioning.

Re: errors silo
hi, at the first time i do : I did an "expert" install and when I got to "tasksel", I didn't select anything (i.e. unselected "standard"). I try to install silo in the next step in the installation or if skipped that and chose to continue without silo, rebooting the CD in "rescue" mode, i chose /dev/hda1, i have a shell. i do : apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get remove silo apt-get install silo silo config : nano /etc/silo.conf entering parametres into silo.conf root=/dev/hda1. initrd=/boot/. siloconfig or /silo -r /boot/ fatal error: your /boot/second.b is located above the magic 1GB boundary from start of the disk please move it down. so that silo first stage loader can load it. # regards Philo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Someone else may wish to chime in, but on second thought it might be easier to install the basic system from the lenny CD with the working silo, change /etc/apt/sources.list to squeeze, do "apt-get update', "apt-get-upgrade", then install xorg and whatever else one wants from there.

I installed testing on a small (6 GB?) IDE hdd in this ultra 5 around the beginning of April using "netinst" CD (with mirror) and did not have a problem with silo. I have had the problem you describe (#1) in the past and if I recall correctly, I believe I did an "expert" install and when I got to "tasksel", I didn't select anything (i.e. unselected "standard"). I'm not sure if I then tried to install silo in the next step in the installation or if skipped that and chose to continue without silo, rebooting the CD in "rescue" mode, and installed silo manually.
