Interesting... then how did you proceed? As far as I know, Suns don't have eject buttons on their floppy drives. > Otherwise, its just like the i386 install, as Ben said.

Something like "setenv > boot_device=floppy" is needed; but check this - I did it once, months >ago... Is it for Solaris or Debian? (or both?) BTW, why would anyone install the Debian on Suns if the machines come with Solaris right out the boxes? The only reason I'm asking about Debian on Sun is that I think it's an interesting alternative since the Classic where I have an access to doesn't have Solaris on it (the CDs I mean). Oki
