The L1 key is labeled "Stop" on my type5. Most type 4 keyboards had
both L1 and Stop on the key.
The message should be fixed to say Stop-

Hi,
I have been having the same issue with all the netboot images newer than
woody, including the current one. My hardware is very similar, but a slower
400MHz CPU.
btw. Stop-A seems to be equivalent to L1-A.

Is netbooting supposed to work for the image in

I just got a kernel panic trying it. But at least the tulip driver is
there. :) Is serial console on sparc busted for the new installer?

Hi Neil,
I have tried this too, but it wouldn't let me configure the network. Steve
has since posted a reason why, and I'm looking into that as a solution.
I have finally managed to get Break to work fairly reliably now. It seems
that it only works when it is doing the memory check. (I almost ge

I'll take a look through and see if I can create an image that works.

That is quite a curious situation. The tftp was downloaded using the onboard

here is with the Debian boot, which may not have the modules needed for your

I have just now got around to trying the netboot again and have pretty much
