[Aurora-sparc-user] Netra X1 install question

[Gary W. Smith]

Dennis, 
 
Thanks for the wiki link.  I've done pretty much everything there.  I've downloaded the 2.99 net boot image.  I'm not sure which one Corona is.  When I setup debian on another box some time ago I had to pull one of the drives and dd it out to make it work (which I know was a bad work around).  
 
What I really need to figure out is how to do this during the install.  
 
Gary

no need to crack the cases open,  I have 2 of them here.  make sure you use
the corona tree to install. we use sun disk partitions.  you will need to
remove all partitions to get free space if solaris is taking up all the disk. 
http://wiki.auroralinux.net/wiki/NetBootRarp  should give you a good guide to
get started on.
