Okay,
I have ordered the BSDisc from InfoMagic (over the web of course) and I
have ftp'ed the boot_fs and the micro-12_fs and used rawrite to create
two floppies. I am also going to get a CDROM drive for the SS2. I
think that will give me access to enough to build the system.
Now the problems:
PROBLEM: Although I know I have a SCSI drive in the machine, when
I do a probe-scsi from new command mode the result is a
pause, and then no information and another 'ok' prompt.
Shouldn't I see information on the SCSI drive?
PROBLEM: I tried to boot from the floppies. It seemed to work until
it tried to look at the floppy drive the message was:
fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec
panic: rd_read_image: open: error 19
Stopped at _Debugger+0x4: jmpl [%o7 + 0x8], %g0
db>
What happened? What should I do?
thanks for the ongoing help and support,
-greg
