ouch. my system won't boot :\
i have a Mav IIvx, 20MB ram, external 270MB root&usr quantum drive.
i set this up a while ago and had no problems before...but not now...
when i boot now, i'm getting the "[preserving XXXXX bytes in netbsd symbol
table screen]" and the text just stops flowing. it just STOPS.
first time it stopped just when it should have said NetBSD GENERIC#1,
compiled by scottr@spot, blahblah...
second time it stopped right after realmem = 20971520 (which is three lines
after the kernel is booting...
third time it stopped at the copyright message, and stopped at "All ri". it
never got the "ghts reserved.".
could i assume hardware error? this seems really wierd.
i think this may have occured from some things i did in the installer
utility. i went into /lost+found (through the minishell) and deleted a file
there, as well as an "ftpd.core" in / , which i don't even remember getting
while my machine was up.
now, i'm seeing these "fstat : No such file or directory" messages when i'm
ls-ing in the minishell in the installer utility 1.0. did i do something
seriously incorrect? :\
i'm going to try messing around with the hardware, because i also put the
270MB NetBSD drive in a different case this past weekend...
any suggestions?
all are appreciated...
thanks!
