Ok, I tried. |
2 |
|
3 |
On the R5000 O2: |
4 |
1) emerged arcboot, then following the man page, I put it in the volume |
5 |
header. |
6 |
|
7 |
2) ignored the boot partition I made during the system install, and made |
8 |
a file called kernel in sda3 (i.e., my root partition see fstab below) |
9 |
|
10 |
3) I put the kernel that Steve gave me into the kernel file |
11 |
|
12 |
4) changed the arcboot.conf to reflect my changes (see below). |
13 |
|
14 |
5) then back to prom I did "boot -f arcboot" - result was an error |
15 |
something like "can't find kernel looking in \unix" |
16 |
|
17 |
I tried several variation on this theme but with no luck. What am I |
18 |
doing wrong? |
19 |
Thanks again. |
