I tried to install 1.6.2 (can't wait for 2.0) on a SS4 using the multi-1 CD
ISO image. I keep getting errors. The errors were either "short disk
read" or something to the effect of "The file just loaded doesn't appear to
be executable". (I'm not at the system console at the moment)
This multi-1 CD was used to install 1.6.2 on a i386 platform so my guess is
that the CD is ok
This SS4 was loaded from a 1.6 multi-1 CD so it appears that the SS4 can
read the CD's I burn.
Is there a known problem with SS4's and the multi-1 CD ISO from 1.6.2? I
couldn't find anything relevant in the NetBSD web page or sparc
archives. Thanks
