Ok, finally I get that NetBSD 1.4 running on the VsII.
It mounts /usr/share, /usr/include, /usr/src/sys from a linux NFS server.
Problems:
1) without swap, I can't compile the kernel (9MB RAM).
With swap it hangs.
How the support for the VAX 4000-300 is?
I'm wondering about netboot the last, mount / from NFS, and
compile kernel from here... a lot faster, if it works.
2) 'timed' works only if launched with '-t' (log on file), and this
happen even on linux machines. Moreover, after a while, on the
VAX it drops a core and die.
I still have no backup battery on the VsII...
3) Since all man pages was formatted wrong, I did removed the
compiled version.
Now, man is no more saving its output into cat? dirs.
Every time I do a 'man bash', I have to wait 15 minutes.
After a discussion with ragge, I tryied to chmod 1777 all cat?
subdirs, woth no result.
And it seems that 'catman', suggested by ragge, is missing in
this distribution.
At least, I did find the makewhatis script. :)
Maybe one day your patience will be rewarded. :)
asking,
Cthulhu
