OK, I'm starting to doubt whether this is even possible. While I'd still like to load from CD, I'm game for the Netboot method. I've set up a tftp server and placed a boot.img (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/installer- sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img into the /tftpboot filesystem on the server. I've renamed it properly, and executed a `boot net` from the OK prompt of one of my SunBlade 100s.
It downloads the file, and I see: Remapping the kernel...done. Booting Linux... At this point, it hangs forever. That's a bit of an exaggeration really, I've only waited for a little over an hour. It's definately hard hung, though. An L1-A won't even resurrect it. I need to remove and reattach power. Has anyone been successful in getting a SunBlade 100 to netboot? -- SPARC boot failed: Illegal Instruction https://launchpad.net/bugs/40119 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
