IIRC, it's similar to my LX, the little lunchbox case, right? Well,
you should be able to grab the two install floppies, and boot from those.
Hopefully you have it on a LAN, connected to the internet. Then you don't
need to worry about burning a CD...
	I'm waiting for other OSes to finally come around to doing installs
via FTP...

! Ladies/Gents:
! 	I have received a Sparc IPC that I'd like to make into 
! a router using
! NetBSD. The machine has one hard drive with SunOS 4 on it. 
! The CMOS battery is
! dead (as witnessed by the Mac address being FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 
! on bootup). The
! floppy drive doesn't work. 
! 	SunOS 4 has /usr mounted from a second drive (which is 
! inconspiciously
! missing from the machine) -- therefore there is no way to 
! boot into the OS
! normally. I suppose I could get it to boot single-user mode, 
! but I don't know
! enough about SunOS 4 to do so (boot -s doesn't seem to have 
! any effect). 
! 	My question is: Is there any hope of getting NetBSD (or 
! a similarly
! advanced OS) onto the box or am I stuck with it? Thanks for the help!
