Dear people,
As somebody who really wants to learn UNIX i mail to the mailinggroup with
the following problem(s):
I installed the whole 1.3.3 set for mac68k.
1)e'thing on 1 hard disk (250Mb) on SCSI1 properly partioned.
Boots fine. Can vi. But afterwards it gives some faultmessages (about
coredump especially).
But at least it comes up and as far as my system allows me i can do some
(probably) basic tasks.
2)because of the lack of MB on the 250HD i wanted to use another harddisk
on SCSI2 to carry or the root or the usr partition. Fstabbed and mounted it.
Then i boot.
Here major problems arise: i have to let the booter ask for the alternative
usrpartition. The boot continues and then hangs. Then it goes into debug or
i have to force it into debug so i can reboot. (adressmessage is something
like a4e1f4.If this is really important i could reproduce it again when you
need it)
3)using a ZIP100 removable for SWAP gives more problems.
The only way i can make the booter find the swap is again by letting it ask
for it.
But it keeps saying sd0a dumps on sd0b, although it recognizes the ZIP as swap.
I have the strong impression that 2) and 3) are related to the same problem
and i have the feeling that it has to do with the kernel.
-What to do to be able to use other HD partitions?
-What is possible on the LC475 (25Mhz)i have or maybe better to say what is
not possible. (I have Software FPU). Is it worth it to invest time in
installing and learning UNIX on my machine?
I hope you're able
to help me with this.
Yours sincerely,
T@W
