I have just received an old Sun Sparc IPX.  I am able to boot it and it
gets stuck looking for the network connection and nameserver.  I have
connected an old scsi cdrom, and put in my SuSE boot disk, but it will
only look at the hard drive for booting.

I have a few questions

First, how do I boot a cdrom or floppy??

How can I install SuSE Linux on it??

Do I have to compile a kernel on an intel based machine to boot the
sparc??

Is there a BIOS or CMOS on the sparc that I could modify??

I'm lost.

thanks
