hello
i want to install NetBSD on a pmax (DECstation 2100) - but i can't get the
disklabel on it - the machine is running ultrix (on rz3)
root@pluto:~> uname -a
ULTRIX pluto 4.3 0 RISC
root@pluto:~>
and the disk i want to label is a FUJITSU M2624S-512 and should have the
following disktab entry (that's the entry used for ultrix i think + the
dt=SCSI i found in the pmax /etc/disktab file)
M2624S|FU2624|fu2624| FUJITSU M2624S-512:\
:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:ns#50:nt#20:nc#1015:\
:pc#1015812:oc#0:bc#8192:fc#1024:
i tried the disklabel for ultrix program from the tools directory of the
snapshot
root@pluto:~> file disklabel
disklabel: mipsel demand paged executable not stripped - version 3.0
root@pluto:~>
but it core dumps - may be it's a os version problem - because i for instance
get
root@pluto:~> file /bin/sh
/bin/sh: mipsel demand paged executable - version 2.10
root@pluto:~>
then i treid to recompile it from the sources in disklabel.tar.gz but this
won't work because it look for i think NetBSD includes - so i can't do
anything more - can someone please help me - give me tips or alternatives - or
maybe a running version of disklabel for my ultrix version or sources that
will compile or maybe someone may make such a label on a disk and send me a dd
of the first some kbytes of the disk if that works
a lot of thanks in advance
