Re: installing NetBSD on a Sparcstation 2.

[Dan Oglesby <danno%serverunderground.com@localhost>]

The floppy images from 201009010000Z error with:

Cannot load netbsd:  error=103

This is while booting the disk1 floppy.

The floppy images from 201009030000Z error with:

Cannot load netbsd:  error=27

This is while booting the disk1 floppy.

Using the same floppies, and the same machine that wrote the previous floppies, 
I can make a set of NetBSD-1.6.2 floppies and boot the SS2 up to installation, 
so the hardware and media appear to work.

I can fire up the SS2 tonight and test these.

Has anyone had a chance to test Christos's changes yet? Presumably
booting the images at
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201009030000Z/sparc/installation/floppy/
should be a sufficient test?
