Description Hans Witvliet 2002-07-23 11:08:56 UTC 
According to the description the ISO-image for sparc should be bootable.
I found that it is ONLY bootable on 64-bit machines (ULTRA)
NOT on 32-bit machines (SS5, SS4), you don't even get the SILO-prompt.

Either a new booatble (1.3?) and/or adjust documentation

Closing
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:19 UTC 
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
