Subject: [suse-sparc] Re: Sparc Problem

    I had this problem as well. I successfully installed onto a Sparcstation
    5 using rarpd/tftp and nfs in the following way.

    1. Install only the most basic system (minimum X if memory serves)
    2. Afterwards go into the system, use yast1 to build the system desired.

    I never did look into yast2 and see what the problem was, but choosing
    the minimum install got me aorund the problem.

    Good luck
