I have a working diskless Sparc2 that I just got a 540 meg drive for.
I created an entry for it in /etc/disktab so disklabel would work like
so:
fireball|Quantum Fireball 540s:\
:ty=winchester:ns#138:nt#2:nc#3835:\
:pa#131072:oa#0:ba#1024:fa#512:\
:pb#131072:ob#131072:\
:pc#1058460:oc#0:\
:pd#131072:od#262144:\
:pe#665244:oe#393216:
I newfs'ed the filesystems and installed the bootstrap using installboot
(and binstall /usr/mdec when the above didn't work)
I boot the machine from the monitor using `boot disk` and am rewarded with:
Boot device: /sbus/esp/sd03,0 File and args: netbsd
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open Sun disk label package
Can't open boot device
Whats up with this? Disklabel didn't complain... *sigh*
As usual, its probably something stupid. Any ideas?
Thanks.
