Hey,
I have a SparcStation 5 with 64MB of RAM, two 1.0 Gig hard drives, CDRom,
and two network cards. I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.6.1. The
installation goes well up until I set the Timezone and select OK to
continue. At that point I get this message:
[START LOG]
At a minimum, you should edit /etc/rc.conf to match your needs. See
/etc/defaults/rc.conf for the default values.
uid 0 comm sysinst on /instfs: file system full
Segmentation fault
Back in microroot; halting machine...
Jul 20 20:35:33 halt: halted by root
syncing disks... done
halted
Program terminated
Type help for more information
ok
ok
[END LOG]
I am using a bootable CD, with a console connected to serial port A on the
SUN. If I reboot the system (after the failed install), it reverts back to
the previous operating system which was Solaris 4.1.
I checked the NetBSD/sparc FAQ, but there's no reference to this error.
This my very first time using NetBSD, I've mostly used Linux. Any
assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
