[waldoxwho]

Ok, here is my dilema,
I have an sun Ultra5.
I've Tried Debian Linux and NetBSD and neither of them will boot.
It reads the disc's but won't boot. I downloaded both Linux Images(Debian and NetBSD) and both said they were bootable.
but the won't boot. My system apparently also doesn't support booting from the floppy.
now, i can't get into the OS thats installed because
I don't know the password. that said
SOMEONE HELP!!!!
any help would be greatly appreciated.

What speed did you burn the CD's at? My Ultra 5 cdrom also had problems reading copied CD's. They recommend you burn the CD's at the lowest speed possible.

hope that helps.
