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

[Chris Andrew]

Spot,

Just started a default graphical install.  The esp module loaded, so
you did well.  Looks like X hasn't configured my mouse :-).  Early
days, yet, as not started installing packages etc, yet.  Maybe I will
go for text on the next run.  Will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Chris.
