Floppy install image?

Floppy install image?

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman]

Howdy,

I've got a Sun SS2 at home that I'd like to try running Ultrapenguin on. 
I can't use the tftpboot image because I don't have any machines that can
respond to the Sun's rarp requests at boot (unless you know of a Mac based
rarpd...); unfortunately, the Ultrapenguin mirror at ftp.cobaltmicro.com
doesn't have a floppy boot image. 

Does such a beast exist?

Thanks,

  -- Lars

Not yet. I got my floppy drive for Ultra about two weeks ago, and still need
to fix some bugs in the driver. Once the driver is fixed, I will make floppy
images, without that I could make some, but could not test it at all...

Cheers,
