Hi Fabio,

I’ll give it a try, but it may be tricky to add a boot track to the CD, after I’ve

unravelled the ISO..

Best Regards,

Mark

Hello Mark
I've noted that in the iso image of the 10.04 the /boot/silo.conf is empty, instead in the 8.04 is written, can try to build an image of 10.04 sparc with the 8.04 silo.conf ?

Bug description:
8.04 Hardy nstallation from CD proceeds to "Selecting and installing software" stage, then fails.Installation from Mini-iso fails, since no archive carries the hardy distribution.
9.04 boots, but never gets off the ground, since 9.04 can't find the CDROM drive from which it booted. If a USB CDROM drive is used, it then can't find the IDE disks, even if the driver is specified.

I know this may be low priority for you, but it is impossible, for one reason or another, to install anything but 6.06 on a Sun Blade 100, or a Sun Ultra 10. Any attempt to upgrade from this, leads to either failure, or an unusable system.

##edited title removing 9.04 because it reaches end of life.
