Either sup is completely messed up on sun-lamp, or something else is
amiss. In any case, the SUP.sun3 file that is there doesn't seem to be
correct.
(With local changes...)
current release=ksrc host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=/home/mcr/NetBSD/src/ prefix=/home/mcr/NetBSD/src backup use-rel-suffix
mirror release=arch-sun3 host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=/home/mcr/NetBSD prefix=/home/mcr/NetBSD backup use-rel-suffix
Shouldn't that be... ksrc release=current?
I was using this supfile:
ksrc release=current host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=. prefix=. backup use-rel-suffix
security release=current host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=. prefix=. backup use-rel-suffix
gamessrc release=current host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=. prefix=. backup use-rel-suffix
regress release=current host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/b/anon_ftp base=. prefix=. backup use-rel-suffix

Success? I already mentioned that I was able to build and boot,
right? I still have half-magnum code due to the SUP problems I just
discovered.
Well, I returned the 3/75 that wasn't working to its owner, and he
lent me his 3/160... Who else is working on ie drivers? I understand
that the Sun Field Tech manual (at $500!) is the thing to have. I have
no practial VME bus experience, but I did read through a spec once.
Does anyone have any recommendations on good, less expensive stuff
(something I'll either find in our library, or available on the net)?
The machine has a SCSI board (with old 60Mb tape), and also a
Xylogics interface. (I decided to *leave* the Eagle in Sandy's
basement. Moving the 160 up the stairs was difficult enough already. I
don't think my car can carry the combined weight, and I'm worried
about my fuse box...) I have a 'spare' 65Mb scsi disk that I'm going
put in the machine.
I have the machine booting SunOS anyway. I think it has memory
problems though... does anyone know how to interpret the memory fault
errors? I saved them on my A2000. (which was being used as a terminal)
Oh... will the PROM do 19200 instead? I think I just have to muck
with eeprom under SUNOS (or play with the monitor commands, ick). I
have this cybernex terminal which I think has been "fixed" to not
allow the baud rate to be changed.
