I am trying to install SuSE Linux sparc on an UltraSparc I and have asked on the sparc list on how to make boot floppies for this system since it demands a 64-bit kernel on the boot floppy instead on the 32-bit kernel in the floppy image on the SuSE Linux sparc CDs. I got the answer on the sparc list that there was a initrd64 and a vmlinuz64 file on the CD, and I found these files. I do not know, however, how to use these files. I know that they are the initial ramdisk and the kernel, but I haven't tinkered with systems using initial ramdisk before, so I haven't got any clue about how to make floppies from these files, and I haven't been able to find anything in the SDB articles. Can anyone help? Best regards, David List
