Last I heard, XCDRoast used cdrecord for it's backend. And, in any case, I can assure you that cdrecord can make sparc (the 64 isn't particularly relevant in this case; the boot PROM's the same) even though I've never used it for that, as Schily develops it under Solaris on sparcs. > An alternative to this is booting from tftp/rarp which is very useful > and easy once you get the hang of it.

Just booting from a properly-burned CD-ROM will be easier than booting using rarp and tftp, but getting the device tree listings through a serial terminal is more painful than net booting.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
