The image is online already
(ftp://1000e.ms.mff.cuni.cz/private/local/jj/UltraLinux/up11cd/)
but it won't run on Ultra30, 60 and others which have the CD-ROM connected
to NCR, Adaptec or Qlogic SCSI adapters. SBUS Ultras should be fine (you'll
probably have the CD-ROM on ESP), IDE Ultras are as well. I'm working on a
fix for this and will release updates soon (but I'd like to fix multiple
bugs at once, together with TILO support for older sun4c and fixed SILO for
initrd (as someone reported on Ultra30)).

Cheers,
    Jakub
