Hi all!

 

Im new to this list, Fredrik 27, software writer from Sweden, likes
heavymetal music and fast bikes.

 

New to SUN but familiar with SUSE.

 

Well, a friend gave (nice friend) me a old Netra (like 400MHz, 512RAM, 2x8GB
scsi.) I said thanks and planned to install SUSE on it and use it for a
nameserver.

 

Ok just to plug the keyboard, well nope, a few hours later I got LOM to work
with my cable and wintendo XP over hyperterminal. Sweet.

I didn't manage to get to the ok> prompt until I tried booting without the
disks, ok I got to the ok prompt.

If I tried probe-ide-all I can se my cdrom on primary slave (if I remember
correct) and the correct modelname of the cdrom driver.

I run "boot cdrom"

It says

Cant open disk label package

Cant open boot device

 

The cd that's in a homemade (with nero) with suse 7.3 for sparc, downloaded
from suse.

 

I have tried three other cd-rom players.

 

Any ideas of what I should check/do next?

Are 7.3 a good version to use on my server, any alternatives?

 

Best regards

 

/Fredde
