I was unable to actually boot from CD’s. So I setup a TFTP server and DHCP server on one of my Ultra 5 workstations and booted the Indy using bootp to start from the network.

I was able to get a debian linux 2.4.18 kernel up and running successfully.

Started on X-Windows configuration and ran into some issues with the version of the kernel, need to upgrade kernel to 2.4.27.

Hopefully I’ll get back to that sometime this week.

I have an SGI Indy, and several Sun Ultra 5 machines, that still have their native OS’s installed. It’s time to move them to Linux, I’ve decided to use debian since there are distros available for both the sparc and mips architectures.

Installed Jigdo and have been downloading ISO’s. Gotta burn them and start installing tomorrow.
