Thanks for the site/URL. I downloaded the tftp64.img and was able to get my SunFire V120 (UltraSPARC-IIe) to see the image and load it via my CentOS 5 rarpd server. However, I guess I am running into some sort of brick wall when it comes to CentOS loading the correct NIC driver to assign an IP address to the server. The V120's on-board network card is coming up as a eri0 and eri1 (Sun RIO 10/100 Ethernet [eri]). If there a way to configure the command line via LOM interface it so it loads the correct NIC driver, sets the ip, etc? I though about something like kickstart, but the tftp64.img doesn't come up to a CentOS Linux window -- just goes directly to where it starts loading drivers for the SCSI drives, then waiting for the language location. -- Michael Johnny Hughes wrote: > Michael Worsham wrote: >> Long ago, there was a CentOS build for Sparc under version 4.2 Beta.
