2001-07-30 Thread idalton
Is there a known problem again with the sun4cdm tftpboot images and Sparc IPX? The current woody and potato images from http.us.debian.org do not boot for me. I also have not a working floppy drive, so I can't test floppy images. -- Ferret I will be switching my email addresses from @ferret.dyn

2001-04-19 Thread idalton
I just verified that the installer gets past this point if installing to a local fs, using a loopback instead of /dev/ram. Mounting with loopback doesn't work with the image on NFS, then? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PRO
