hardware question: power supply rating for sparc 5

1999-12-09 Thread John Davis
Hello I thought someone here might know this question. What is the standard power supply rating for a sparc 5. I recently purchased a sparc 5 for use with Debian and I was surprised that it only had a 150W power supply. Is that normal? Most PC's come with a 200W or 250W power supply. John

1999-12-09 Thread Chris Trainor
150W is correct. The reason why most PC's have bigger supplies is because you can put a lot more stuff in them generally. Also, many of the 200W PC power supplies i've run into wont' run at 200W for too long. :) --Chris On Thu, 9 Dec 1999, John Davis wrote: Hello I thought someone here

Problems with SILO (Sparc slink)

What exactly do I need to put a Sun disk label on my disk? Solaris?? I hope not :) You can do it with fdisk. It's in the manual: http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/sparc/ch-init-config.en.html#s-dbootstrap-partition (Does dbootstrap in potato make this any more foolproof?) Edmund

Sparc boots now from SD! Many thanks

I finally succeeded with my boot problem and Debian is now booting from my SD. I never saw the 's' option in fdisk (it was hidden) and the list of known partition types which comes up using the 'l' command was not listing anything with 'Sun' in it. I low-level formatted the disk using my
