Subject: boot-floppies: superformat does not work on (at least my) SPARC. Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-20 Severity: important
When creating a bootdisk, the installer tries to format the disk with superformat. This program fails on my SparcStation5 (Input/Output error). fdformat does work, though. After some scripting to force the installer to use fdformat, the formatting worked. But still I got no bootdisk. Don't know what the error message was, there were no useful messages on tty3.. :-( -- System Information (bogus, typing this on a different machine..)
