• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Martin Hierling 2004-02-23 07:20:20 UTC]

I have booted a SUN Blade Server (http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/b100s/), no problem. But the Network card is not detected. Running solaris i have a ce0 (Gigabit Ethernet). LSPCI should in tftpimage.

Maybe one of you SPARC-guys has an additional idea about this one? 

[Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-03-25 11:24:29 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.
