I am trying to install RedHat 6 on a Sparc 20.  I have made the boot =
disk as directed on Redhat's pages but it doesn't load a kernel image.  =
It says there is a disk read error at block 1582.  I have tried making =
the disks on a linux box, on a solaris box, each time downloading a =
different image from a mirror site.  I am not very familiar with sparc =
arch. so be gentle.
