Hi all,
I've been using a single-disk IIci for NetBSD for a couple years with
great success. Now I'm trying to set up a Centris 650 to replace it, and
I'm having a problem.
I'm setting up my new system with two disks. sd0 contains a MacOS
partition and a 100mb swap partition (sd0b). sd1 contains root (sd1a) and
usr (sd1g) partitions. My fstab looks like this:
/dev/sd1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd1g /usr ufs rw 1 2
kern /kern kernfs rw 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
I can boot single-user and mount root and /usr with 'mount -a' without
problems. However, if I attempt to boot multi-user (or "exit" from
single-user mode to allow it to continue to boot multi-user), it hangs. I
get no feedback when exiting from single-user mode, but when I try to boot
straight into multi-user, I see the following at the end of the dmesg
messages:
boot device: sd1
root on sd1a dumps on sd1b
PRAM: 0x354642db, macos_boottime: 0x354642ca.
root file system type: ffs
There is no sd1b for root to dump on. I expect this is the problem, but
I'm not at all sure how to convince it to dump on sd0b instead.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Bill

I can take my Cuisinart apart in the dark and put it back together in
seven minutes. Not that I need a Cuisinart. I can prepare dinner for
twelve with a cigarette lighter and a sharp stick...as long as I have
fresh cilantro.
