Hi,All _looks_ well, but when trying to verify that it can indeed boot off of the other component however, it barfs immediately: Upon typing "boot disk0" in OFW the bootblock spews out (immediately after printing its header) the error message: .Inode not directory Fast Data Access MMU miss .. and I'm back at the OFW "ok" prompt. Does this mean the bootblock thinks the root directory inode of the disk0 component is not a dir?This is fixed by: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/06/29/msg207490.html You should be able to take the newer boot blocks (/usr/mdec/bootblk) from a current or 5.0 beta build and use them, for example: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/200812020002Z/sparc64/binary/sets/base.tgz
How difficult would it be to get this pulled up into netbsd-4? (and potentially even netbsd-3?) Thanks -- David/absolute -- www.NetBSD.org: No hype required --
