Hi gang,

new on the list. I have a Sparc20 which I acquired for little money and am 
using for useful things. But I don't see how I can keep up with 2 OSs and 
would like to replace Solaris with Linux. I've browsed a bit through the 
archives here but haven't found a concrete, quasi step-by-step "This is how 
to do it" guide for installing Linux SuSE on a Sun. Because the Sun is 
something quite new for me, I'm not too comfortable with the idea of 
dealing with names like "c0t0d0s7" - i.e. the part between "insert OS 
install disk" and "boot new system" (I keep expecting /dev/hda1, etc.)

Any suggestions, pointers?
