    I'm having the same problem with another Ultra1. Tried to create the floppy
    boot disks but have a problem squeezing the 1.5 MB bootdisk32 file onto a
    1.44 MB floppy. Am I missing something in the documentation?

    Thanks

    If anyone out there has a few moments of spare time to lend to a real linux
    novice, my ears are open and listening. I am trying to install the Suse
    Sparc V7.1 on my Sun Ultra 1 Creator workstation. I downloaded the #1 iso
    image file onto my NT server and created a CD using Adaptecs Easy CD Creator
    software doing a create CD from CD image option off of the pulldown file
    menu. Examining the disk it appears to have been created ok, however, it
    will not boot when I try to use it on the Sun workstation. Where am I going
    wrong? I have other CDROM system disk that boot up just fine on the Sun
    workstation. I know the drive and the rest of the workstation hardware are
    ok. Any guidance would be most appreciated.

    Thanks,

    John
