Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org Here is the tftpboot file I used with a sparc 2. Try it and see if it works for you. http://www.comm-data.com/~rmccask/ultrapenguin-1.0.9-tftpboot.img I think that the install script is built into the tftpboot file as a ramdisk so the one from RH4.2 will probably choke. It is possible that the one I have above might not be completely thrilled with any changes that have been made since I grabbed it, but I suspect that it will work. -Randy On Thu, 11 Jun 1998, Lars Kellogg-Stedman wrote: > The problem looks like it's part of the tftpboot process...I'm booting > off a Mac running LinuxPPC (tried it with kernel 2.1.103 and 2.1.24); > according to a tcpdump of the install process the tftp fetch hanging > close to the end with the client (the machine I'm trying to install on) > repeatedly ACKing the server. > > I *can* get the standard RH4.2/sparc install to boot.
