If you are mirroring to a partition or an NFS volume, you'll need to
get everything under RedHat, as well as the disk images from images
that you need for your system.

INSTALLING

Installation is very straightforward 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 boot-v0.img and boot-v2.img.  The v0 image can
be written to floppy for folks with PROM versions less than 2.x.  The
v2 image can be used for PROMs greater than 2.0.  Just use rawrite.exe
under DOS (from the dos-utils 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 
RARP/ARP/TFTP/NFS server to get the kernel to the SPARC, and then to
mount the root filesystem from.  This is covered in the Red Hat Manual.
