Hi again,

I've finally managed to get my CATS board to boot the 1.4 kernel and get to
a shell prompt, but I still can't mount /usr or cd into /etc. running mount
results in it dying with some sort of syscall problem. cd'ing into /etc
makes sh die the same way. I still don't have any idea as to what is going
on. Has anyone else updated their CATS board this way and gotten it to work?

Hi all,

I decided to take the plunge and update our CATS board to 1.4. I newfs'ed
the drive, then untarred all the sets and kernel on it, using another
machine (i386). Then I stuck the drive back in the CATS box and booted.

The kernel boots, but hangs right after it says "root file system ffs" or
something similar. All the devices seem to probe okay. Did I do something
wrong? This approach worked fine with the October 1998 1.3.2 distribution
that came with the CATS board when I tried it last year.
