Hey guys, I'm using a sparc Ultra 1/170 sun4u, trying to install gentoo 1.4

i get the silo boot and type "gentoo" and it gives me a not found error. the silo.conf on the cd is default.

any ideas?

a few Qs

did you just use "boot cdrom" from the bootprom prompt?


do you have a cd-rom which is known-bootable on sparc? they can be picky.


which version of the gentoo CD are you using?


does your ultra1 have a known-good hard disk?


any odd hardware in it? what kind of frame buffer?
