that you need for your system.

INSTALLING

Installation is very straight forward on the SPARC.  The easiest way is
using a CD-ROM of Red Hat Linux for the SPARC.  Simply drop the CD in
your drive and at the PROM prompt type "boot cdrom" and you should be
presented with an install.  If you are unable to do that for some reason,
you can boot via the network or via floppy.  The images directory on the
CD contains a floppy boot images.  Just choose the right one for your system
and use rawrite.exe under DOS (from the dosutils dir on the CD) or dd under
a *nix variant to write the image to a floppy and then boot it with
'boot floppy' or 'boot fd()' from the PROM prompt.

Network installations are also possible.  You will need to setup a
combination of RARP, ARP and TFTP servers to get the kernel
to the SPARC and mount the root filesystem from.  This is covered in
the Red Hat Manual. If the server is running Red Hat Linux (no matter which
architecture), you can use utils/tftptool on the server to lead you through
the process of setting things up.
