Debian on Sun Starfire

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported that he was able to install Debian on a Sun Enterprise 10000 server via NFS-Root at Ericsson Telebit A/S. Such a Starfire machine contains up to 64 CPUs and can run several operating systems at the same time.

At work, I sysadmin a domain on such a StarFire, or E10K as we call it. Speaking of which, we bought a new toy : a Fujitsu PrimePower 450 server, the size of half a refrigerator. Contains only a rack with a 4U machine in it, though.
