[RECAP: 3.1-STABLE install on 486 hangs at boot on "ep0 not found at 0x300"]
The 3.1 Errata tells me:
<SNIP>
o Kernel change information is not saved in the new kernel, even
though this is claimed to work in the docs.
Fix: The change information is being written out, in fact, but to the
wrong location. move /kernel.config to /boot/kernel.conf (if it
exists, otherwise there were no changes to save) and add the
following lines to /boot/loader.rc:
load /kernel
load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf
autoboot 5
This will cause the kernel change information to be read in and
used properly (and you just learned a little about the new 3-stage
loader in the process, so the exercise wasn't a total loss).
</SNIP>
This certainly may be what's wrong with my system, but if I can't boot it
up, how do I make these changes?? I've tried the fixit shell & CD-ROM live
filesystem, but am runing into difficulties.
TIA
