tlug: Sun IPX

[Paul Howard-Beard <paulb@example.com>]

Hi John,

I got your name from the recent article in the LJ about Linux on SPARC.
I've just been given an IPX system with most of the add-ons. It has an
AUI Ethernet connector but it did not come with the AUI to 10-Base5
interface. Solaris refuses to boot saying that there is no loopback.
Will this happen with Linux?

Thanks for any pointers.


Regards,

Paul Beard
