Well, you can netboot the host, assuming you have control of some other host on the same network segment. It's a little fiddly to setup, but not impossible. Or, you could get a disk image of an already installed machine, and just 'dd' that onto a disk that could be inserted into the machine you want to run on. If you only have the single sparc64 machine, and no other host to help you get it installed, you are probably out of luck. -Kurt On 1/4/19 10:41 AM, Maciej Jan Broniarz wrote: > Ok, and if a device has no cdrom how can i boot the installer? > > > ----- Oryginalna wiadomość ----- > Od: "Kurt Lidl" <lidl@FreeBSD.org> > Do: freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org > Wysłane: piątek, 4 styczeń 2019 16:14:48 > Temat: Re: usb boot on sparc > > On 1/4/19 8:27 AM, Maciej Jan Broniarz wrote: >> I am trying to install FreeBSD on sparc64.
