Hi all, Any idea on the problem being shown with the CDRom drive volume not being available ? Has anyone used a Plextor x32 CDRom for this kind of install ? Regards John. -----Original Message----- From: John Cushnie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 2:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fdisk for the Sparcs -- disk partitioning Hi all, I'm trying to install Linux 5.0 on my SUN Sparcstation 2. I have the NVRAM now updated to include a MAC address etc. I get as far as booting from the CDRom (PLEXTOR 32x) but then I get magic numer problems with one of the volumes. I suspect the install is complaining about the two disks connected to the SparcStation. I know not what has been installed on the disk before. Is there a version of fdisk for the Sparcs that I could use to partition the disks ?

Attached is the failed install output to the serial terminal. Thanks in advance for any help on this. John Cushnie Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
