Re: freebsd and sparc

[Philip Smith <pfs at cisco.com>]

I wasn't aware that RedHat for Sparcs had a bootable CD. I think you need 
to boot strap from a floppy disk, and then install from CD. Infact, I don't 
think I've seen a RedHat for Sparc CD sold commercially (apart from the 
ones I've seen my colleagues make for themselves).Your RedHat CD might be 
an Intel-only distribution.
