Hi. I could use a little help getting all of this stuff to work. Here's what
I did:
Downloaded everything in arch/sun3 except X and something to do with mach3
and sprites(??). Unzipped, untarred them all. All of this I did in my
/home partition, which is sd0h. I then copied /home/netbsd-gen to
/home/vmunix. I also made an fstab file in /home/etc with the line
/dev/sd0h / 4.2 rw 1 1
in it (I think that's right - I copied it from sunos's /etc/fstab, and changed
sd0a to sd0h). Anyway, I reboot with
b sd (0,0,7) -bs
It runs for a bit, checks out the memory, and then
sun_3_save_symtab: bad magic
or something to that effect. Then it continues on, up until
root on sd0h
swap on sd0b
dump on sd0b
panic: cannot mount root
stopped at 0xe07d6fa: unlk ab
or something close to that.
Can anyone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated.
