This is the LC3 system [030/33mhz/20ram/800hd/FPU] I have posted about =
before:
I gave up on the sysinst method, which was always segfaulting when it =
called pax to unpack the sets.
Traditional method seemed to install fine. And yes, I ran MAKEDEV at =
the end too, while still in the installer.
But Boot dropped out to the db> prompt after saying
...
root file system type: ffs
init: not found
panic: no init
Stopped in pid 1 (init) at cpu_Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
Theory #1: =20
Am I using an incorrect version of Booter [2.0.0a7] or Installer [1.1h] =
or mkfs [sioux?] or HD SC Setup [2.0.3] to install 1.6?
Theory #2:
Am I maybe putting init on a bad sector, the same sector that was giving =
me that "CBD error" grief last month? If I make my swap partition say =
60Mb & likely cover that sector, what are the chances it will cause =
further grief? Are there any free MacOS-side disk-surface checkers?
Any pointers at this point?
Thanks!
