Trying to install Plan 9 to a SparcStation 5. I burned the ISO just like
I do when I install to x86 systems, put it in the sparcstation, issued
"boot cdrom" and it tells me "Bad magic number in disk label"
Solaris installs just fine, so does NetBSD. Any ideas?
Thanks
Nick

not only is the install 386 only (which, IIRC, has always been the
case for the install media, even back in 2e days), but unless i've
missed something big (which is quite possible; my free time level
has been on a sharp nose dive for the last few months), there is
no current sparc kernel.
the sources for the old stuff are available; if you wanted to make
one, i and others would be quite appreciative. :-)
