The easiest way to install linux on SPARC workstation is to use a
CDROM. If your workstation 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:
When you issue the boot cdrom command, the CDROM is
mapped to ID6.
Your CDROM player's block size should be setted up on 512.
As a rule of thumb, nearly all CDROM drives can be assigned to ID #6 but be
carefull about the block size setting.
