Hi all,
I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.6/sparc64 on the same physical hard disk with Solaris9 at Ultra60.
First of all, would like to know whether it is possible at all ;-)
If so, I did the following (from Solaris):
1) Partitioned the disk (added slices 5 and 6 for NetBSD - root and usr):
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 293 - 2118 3.13GB (1826/0/0) 6557166
1 swap wu 0 - 292 513.75MB (293/0/0) 1052163
2 backup wu 0 - 4923 8.43GB (4924/0/0) 17682084
3 home wm 2119 - 2689 1001.20MB (571/0/0) 2050461
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 root wm 2690 - 3488 1.37GB (799/0/0) 2869209
6 usr wm 3489 - 4923 2.46GB (1435/0/0) 5153085
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2) newfs on both partitions, mounted
3) installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5
4) Copied ofwboot and netbsd (kernel-GENERIC) to the root partition, chown
root:sys, chmod 755
5) Copied and extracted the basic packages (base, comp, etc)
6) Created required devices under /dev/
7) While trying to boot to the root partition (boot /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0:e), get ok prompt after the following error:
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0:e File and args:
NetBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock
Invalid superblock magic
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok
8) All files are taken from the installation CD (burned from NetBSD 1.6/sparc64 ISO).
Tried also files from ftp://.../pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/other/ , various kernels etc - doesn't help.
Tried to boot with specifying "netbsd" file (boot /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0:e netbsd -s) - same.
Please assist!
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vadim
