Hi people,

had a had disk die in the sparc and so doing fresh install of
2.0 on new disk.  ( have a sparcstation5 ).

floppy one boots no problem. happy.
asks for another but disk2 has a hernia:

gzip: can't read stdin: Invalid argument
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Unexpected EOF etc etc
tar: Sorry etc etc
Ejecting floppy etc

I did a search and saw a few had this problem going back a few years.
But couldn't find a solution.

Surely brand new shiny 2.0 shouldn't do this?

Can anyone help me pls???:)))


sparc off the air and suffering,
chs,
Paul.
