Hi Hartwig, That seems to do work from the boot prompt.But I do not have yet a system so there is now / (root) and since this is bypasses the silo.conf (it seems) it quits at the end of booting the image.
So how I can do the install this way, I mean how the initrd will be loaded and from where. Or can I do the install with the rescue label
Sorry, asking this details, I am not new to linux at all but never had any problem this kind (with lilo or grub).... also this is my first attempt of installing debian.
I am an avid Slackware user. I installed slack on anything from 386dx, Dual Pentium Pro, all kinds of Pentiums, laptop (486SX) from floppy, over nfs anything you can thing of. I still like Slack but Patric stopped the Sparc port for some time...
Thanks in advance, GaborPS the final solution would probably to burn my on ISO (which I wanted to avoid so I just ordered one

When I boot from the CD (Debian3.0r0sparcbin-1) I get an error message like this: can not find /boot/sparc64.gz I did look at the files and silo.conf does point to that file under under label linux (not under rescue though). Is there a workaround ??? I paid for the CD for Linux-Central but this is not their fault I guess. Any help would be appreciated. At least someone let them know that it is the wrong image !!! Thanks.
