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
