I'm trying to install a bootblock on the SCSI disk at ID 1, and get
this:
Executing last command: boot /pci/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@1,0:a
Boot device: /pci/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@1,0:a File and args:
NetBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock
Invalid superblock magic
Could this be because I've newfs'd / as FFSv2 rather than FFSv1?
or am I using installboot wrong?:
mount /dev/sd1a /mnt
mount -r /dev/sd1d /mnt/usr
cd /mnt
chroot /mnt /bin/ksh
cp usr/mdec/ofwboot .
sync
sync
installboot -v /dev/rsd1a usr/mdec/bootblk /ofwboot
^D
umount /mnt/usr
umount /mnt
reboot
I've tried binstall, installboot, both in single user and then tried
again with ofwboot already in place but the target filesystem
unmounted, and it's always the same error.
