[Nottingham] sparc conundrum

[Duncan John Fyfe]

Hello all,

I'm trying to put Debian on an Ultra-5 but I've run into a slight problem.
The CD Drive cannot read the CD-R's I've got.  It will read the official
Solaris CD just not CD-R's.
It isn't my network so no fiddling with ARP/RARP ( I can get a DHCP
issued IP address and no 'boot net:dhcp' doesn't work).
Floppy booting doesn't work.

I have put a core install of Solaris 9 on it atm.

Does anyone have a plan B that might just work ?

Have fun,
Duncan
