Eric, what speed processor is your SS5? Afaik, the 170MHz SS5 won't run the installer properly because of some problem with python iirc. The slower models used a slightly different processor type that will install fine. Can't type more now as I have a meeting to goto but that should be a pointer

Unfortunately it gets as far as the busybox errors and that's it. I let it sit for 30 minutes... Woody would seem to be the next obvious path but my floppy drive is busted. Does anyone have a boot CD image that has the Woody installer for SPARC? I checked the mirrors and all that are there
