Hi Ferris, |
| 46 |
Currently the diskless boot image bombs, and another e10k user I know |
| 47 |
hasn't been able |
| 48 |
to install Gentoo on his machine via cdrom either. Could you put me in |
| 49 |
touch with someone |
| 50 |
that can do linux-sparc kernel and diskless boot image development? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Thanks, |
| 53 |
Mike |
