Hi!
I have an Ultra 450 Enterprise Server and I'm trying to install Debian 3.0
for Sparc to it. Here is what I do.
1. I make an iso image of the debian/sparc boot installation cd using

Hi,
I just installed an UltraSparc 10 (256MB mem / 333MHz single processor)
with woody. All went fine so far but I found the following log entries:

Hi,
I have a 7(10 possible)/1 bet at present. I'm hoping someone in the
debian sparc community can narrow the odds :-)
My choice of video driver for my Ultra 1 offered as follows:

That depends on which video card is present in your Ultra1. If it's
And the loser appears to be -- anyone trying this combination. I installed
a Lite-On 52x24x52x burner in my Ultra 5. It works fine as a CD-ROM in both
IDE and SCSI emulation modes, but it causes total system lockups every time
I attempt to burn with it. The last line of output from cdrecord

The other thing that bothers me is that with X it should be using
/dev/tty7.

I am slightly confused at what you're trying to do. XDCMP is commonly

Hopefully people don't mind my plugging my sparc32 kernel debs again.
2.4.21-rc7 debs have been posted; UP has been tested on an ss5, SMP on
an SS10. I'm uploading them now to http://osinvestor.com/sparc/debs/
and they're almost all up there.
Now back to your regularly scheduled mailings,
