I'm trying to convert a SunOS box into a NetBSD box. It's a SS2 with
two internal disks, both of which NetBSD finds just fine. No biggie.
Unfortunately, I cannot mount any of the partitions! All partitions
were created under SunOS, and I don't want to fsck -c2 the root partition
until I can get the NetBSD bootblocks installed and that's a long way off.
All attempts to mount the disk result in
ufs: /dev/sd0g: Operation not supported by device
(that's /usr).
I newfs'd /usr (since it wasn't populated anyway), and it came back with
ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument
And "disklabel" does the same thing.
I also can't remount the root filesystem because root_device and /dev/sd0a
don't match, and I can't convince mount that it really needs to remount
root read-write. It comes back
ffs: /dev/sd0a on /: specified device does not match mounted device
I'm using the snapshot kernel found at
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc/snapshot/netbsd
Can someone send me some pointers? The README and the INSTALL documents
both appear to be grossly out of date.
