|
|
<P>The easiest way to install linux on SPARC computer is to use a
|
|
CDROM. If your computer does not have a CDROM you can plug an
|
|
external SCSI CDROM drive, but there are two things to do or you
|
|
are doomed to fail:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>When you issue the <CODE>boot cdrom</CODE> command, the CDROM is
|
|
mapped to ID number 6.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Your CDROM player's block size should be setted up on 512.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb, nearly all SCSI CDROM drives can be assigned to ID number
|
|
6 but you should check if the block size setting can be changed.
