I am trying to install Debian on a Sparc 5 from a CD. I have finally got =
the two disks setup as Linux partitions and I have a Linux swap =
partition. Now I am trying to "Install Operating System Kernel and =
Modules" as the manual calls it.
I am getting an error "There was a problem installing the Drivers from =
//dist/potato/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4cdm/drivers.tgz".
After I select continue I am dropped out of the install back to the =
menu. From this point on if I select the install option I get a message =
"The attempt to extract the Rescue Floppy from disk failed". I get this =
message until I reboot from the CD ROM and this the pattern starts all =
over again.
Any idea at what the problem is?
Thank you for you help.
David
