Re: Migration of Linux Sever

[arbu <arbu cwcom net>]

Done this one, and linux behaves very well on the Ultras, just throw the
bootable CD into the caddy, install SILO to the MBR / first sector and
point at it using the boot PROM, setting ( varies with prom ) iommu@
blah, blah, etc, sbus 0,0 etc,

Seems to always go in fine on a ULTRA,

Boot up disc can be gained from installation procedure, seem to remember
dd will give image boot if needed prior,

As for the services install them as for your Intell box, you could
always pull the scripts across from the intel,

If your not sure you could always point netscape from the SUN to
linuxconf on the intel and compare notes, as you build
that way you should not miss to much as you craft it up

Yours Alan
