Re: SparcStation 2 Problems
Thanks! The linux-a.out image worked great.
I do have one other question (probably not related to
the debain install). When it first rebooted after the
install, all I could get was an "Illegal Instruction"
message. I was able to get it to work by typing "boot
disk1". I had tried to do a RedHat install on this
system earlier, could that have caused this?
