Hi Jordan and Hackers people,
I am trying to install 2.0R on a machine here, however the newfs
fails on the disk. This is at the very begining of the install just after
the fdisk has been done. Does newfs do a scsi read capasity, or do you know
offhand. Can extra otions to newfs be set, or is there some way to drop
into a shell. Ctrl-C and ESC-ESC both reboot the machine. Is there a floppy
I can build which will give me a shell through which I can do the work
manually. I now have a seperate temporary machine on which 2.0R is
installed with the srcdist and I can build on that. Thanks for your time
and help. I just adore the installation process. NB for a WD8013 the probe
incorrectly detects when the IRQ is at 2 and falsely reports that it is at
5, I could have done without having to open up my machine to change
jumpers, when I eventually figured it out :->.
Donal.
PS This is installing on a NCR Raid scsi ID 1, OS/2 boot Manager + Special
code to boot from ID 1, other OS's are DOS and OSF/1.
