[HLUG] Linux on Sparc

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with installing 
Linux on Sun machines?  I managed to get it all functioning quite 
happily but I've still got a few niggling issues...

The OpenBoot system - is there a manual for it?  It's slightly more 
complex than a PCs BIOS.  I need to change the screen resolution if 
possible.

It has three 9 gig SCSI disks in it but two (the original SUN ones) 
claim to have that capacity but when I partition it with fdisk I only 
get 2 gig maximum.  Any ideas?

Cheers
Mark
