I'm soooo stupid...I think ;)
I installed 1.5b2 on a Powerbook G3/266 but I kept getting errors when I
tried to install software saying "can't fork...error 1".
I tried to do the "unlimit datasize" and even "sysctl -w
kern.maxproc=3000". Neither fixed the problem.
So I reinstalled. Well, that took about 6 hours before I realized that
I was using a bad floppy (I tried about 4 til one finally worked). Then
I noticed that when I booted, it prompted for a root device. I entered
'wd0' just like I had been doing before the install.
Then it dawned on me: is that supposed to be 'wd0a' instead of wd0?
Could that be the cause of my errors?
Please say 'yes'.
Thanks,
jeff
