Here's a list (minor) of the problems I encountered

Permissions of /tmp were wrong and meant I counldn't edit files etc.
 
devil: {52} cd /tmp ; ls -al
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  512 Mar 20 09:36 .
drwxr-xr-x  18 root  wheel  512 Mar 16 17:21 ..


The minor device number of /dev/rsd0f was bad. eg...
devil: {167} ls -al rsd0*
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   0 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0a
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   1 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0b
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   2 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0c
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   3 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0d
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   4 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0e
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   5 Mar 22 15:30 rsd0f
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   1 Mar 22 15:23 rsd0f.old   <<<<<<<<<<
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   6 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0g
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   13,   7 Nov 22 12:30 rsd0h

I manually mknod'd the correct device and all was fine after that.


My system is a 486DX33 with 8M ram, SMC Ethernet card, Adaptec 1542B SCSI
card, ET4000 graphics, two Maxtor P17S disks, EXABYTE EXB-8505 8mm and
WANGTEK 5150ES SCSI QIC.


Apart from the above it works fine.

To put it mildly, it is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for a tremendous effort.
