Re: New working sparc64 netinst image



Was wondering if there is any way to install the SILO bootloader with this installed? I was pretty much able to get everything installed, with all the work arounds listed here, except for SILO which appears to no longer be available in the repros.

That's cool, prio to that, there was:

[del]
Jan  1 17:58:04 main-menu[150]: INFO: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' selected
Jan  1 17:58:04 base-installer: warning: Unknown architecture 'sparc64'.
[del]

So that's probably the root cause?

HTH,
