Yep, I was referring to the sparc32 floppy which I was saying was
broken... and I agree with you. In the meantime, netbooting is a good
option you can persue.
Reiterating what Thorsten said, there will probably never be a boot
floppy for Ultras because of the bug he mentioned... and most of them
have CD drives in them anyways... but I see it as a necesary thing on
the sparc32 machines if possible...
