Greetings,

I'm trying to load Debian on a SUN Netra T1 200

I get part way through the install and it blows off with:

VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option


I have tried several "linux boot=" options with no luck.

I've included the entire boot text below and would sincerely appreciate
any help.

TIA


                 Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux sarge!

This is a Debian installation CDROM, built on 20040316.
Keep it once you have installed your system, as you can boot from it
to repair the system on your hard disk if that ever becomes necessary.

WARNING: You should completely back up all of your hard disks before
  proceeding. The installation procedure can completely and irreversibly
  erase them! If you haven't made backups yet, remove the rescue CD from
  the drive and press L1-A to get back to the OpenBoot prompt.

Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted
by applicable law.
