        Hello David and all,

        Well, finally I'm getting time to install slackware in my SS-10 but I'm getting problems in the mini-install.iso...
        In the OpenBoot I did:

        Ok> boot -r
        Ok> boot cdrom

Welcome to Slackware Linux (v. -current) - SPARC edition!

This CD-ROM is configured to detect your archecture and load the appropriate
kernel for your system. If you need to enter any special kernel parameters,
type "linux" (without quotes) followed by a space and then any kernel
parameters you need.

   boot: linux

[cutted]

        Ok, I try linux <ENTER>, linux root=/dev/ram... the kernel loads, but I get this message:

        You didn't specify the type of your ufs filesystem

        mount -t ufs -o ufstype=sun|...

>>> WARNING <<< Wrong ufstype may corrupt your filesystem, default is ufstype=old
        ufs_type=old is supported read-only
        ufs_read_super: bad magic number

        Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
        Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

                        ---

        I'm running OpenBSD 2.8 Sparc on this machine, what I can do to work Slackware on it?

        Thanks in Advance!

Best Regards,
