Subject: [suse-sparc] Boot on Ipcas Sparcstation 20E

    Dear List,

    trying to install SuSE 7.1 (or 7.0, does not matter) for Sparc on an
    Ipcas Sparcstation 20E (without CD drive) I get the following message
    after booting from bootdisk32-floppy-image:

    SIProgram terminated

    O.K., there is a problem with Silo.

    Has anyone a suggestion how I could overcome this problem?
    Can I try to netboot via tftp (how?) from a linux pc or will I get the
    same result because of same boot environment on the tftpboot image?

    Thanks in advance.

    PS: It should not be a general problem of the machine with Linux,
because Red Hats Piglet installation succeeded without any problem.
