Hi,
i have some older Netras t1 105 and I wanted to install Linux on them. I read the Gentoo Installation Guide, downloaded the gentoo-sparc64-1.4_rc5.iso image and burned it on 4x CD-R. But the machine refuse to boot from the CD. The OpenBoot say:

Can't read disk label
Can't open disk label package


I was able to boot from the original Solaris 8 CDs, I was able to mount and browse the Gentoo-CD under Solaris. Which version of OpenBoot do I need? I have 3.10.24

I was able to boot from this CD on another Sun Machine.
