Booting from CDROM seems difficult. Netbooting works since blathijs replaced the NVRAM battery.

Specs

• 128MB ram
• 9.1GB harddisk but layout of the old 2.2GB one
• UltraSPARC 167MHz
• Debian 7

This machines is hooked up to the LDAP for user management, but also has a local root user with the familiar password. ;)

Todo

• Fix hard disk layout so that whole disk can be used, or maybe use an ever bigger one

Netboot tips and tricks

This information can be useful when reinstalling:

On some machine in the network

• Run a rarp server
• Put this line in /etc/ethers (MAC address of Ultra 1 and a free ip address in our range)

8:0:20:82:ca:1a 192.168.1.200

• Put a line in /etc/hosts with hostname/ip

On the TFTP server

• Download boot.img from Debian (Debian 6 works for this machine, Debian 7 doesn't)
• Check /var/log/daemon.log for the filename requested by our Ultra 1
• Rename boot.img or make a symlink

Now the installer should start when you type "boot net" in OpenBoot
