Subject: Help installing Suse 7.0 on Sparcstation 20

    Just need a few pointers on installing Suse 7.0 on my Sparcstation 20.

    I got the 4 iso images from an ftp site. I assumed the first disk would be
    bootable, so I booted my sparcstation with the "boot cdrom" command. I get
    the message:

    Rebooting with command cdrom
    Boot device:/iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@6,0:d File and args:
    SIProgram terminated

    Hmm..... and I can't even mount the CD on my linux box either, even less on
    my NT box !

    Is my first disk corrupted ? I never did check the md5sums.. I just assumed
    everything was going to work OK, as it usually does (ahemm...).

    Am I right in assuming that the first disk image should get me a bootable
    CD that should work on a Sparcstation 20 ?
