Hello all! I'm now trying to make my first Debian Sparc installation and I'm stuck at the very first stage: I can't boot! When I do "boot net" I get (after some "Boot device:" crap) "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet", then some incremental counter which stops at about 84000 (every time the different value), then computers waits for several minutes and response: "Receive failed" "Illegal instruction"
I'm booting using rarp and tftp server running on Debian Hamm (i386) computer and did everything precisely as written in sparc_release_note.txt Syslog shows that there was a connection from that computer (recognized by name) and that it.tftpd was invoked. What could be wrong? Thanks a lot in advance for any help! --- Shurik. P.S. Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
