Which rev of 2.1 is it? On my 2.1r2 cd, I have to enter linux-2.2 at the linux (silo?) boot prompt. I wasn't able to successfully install Debian on our SS5's with the 2.0 kernel on the cd, but the 2.2.7 kernel worked fine. Steve Mark A Cinense wrote: > > I have Debian 2.1 that I received last Ma

This is an initial shot at a set of boot floppies for sparc. Note that this is not uploaded for the dist yet since it is a) based on boot-floppies CVS and not the one in the potato archive, and b) uses a set of 2.2.14 kernel images that can't be uploaded until the 2.2.14 source is in the archive.

What do you use to actually make the floppies with? i've so far been unable to read, write, or format floppies under Linux on my Sparc IPX. However, the boot floppy system can read the disks I make on my i386, and I can format and read disks on the IPX under NetBSD? Is there something in particul
