[Aurora-sparc-user] Anyone managed to boot from the CD on an SS20?

[Chris Andrew]

~spot,

Thanks for the pointer.

I have been trying to install Gentoo, as it's about the only thing
that will think about working.

I've always had mixed results (read as _failed_) with Gentoo, so it
would be cool if this works.  I would try the ISO now, but my SS20
only likes CD-R cd's, so I'll have to get some, tomorrow.

BTW, the only distro that has installed properly to date is OpenBSD.

0.  It's not GNU/Linux,

1.  I don't know what to do with it, once it's installed :-).

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Chris.
