MIKE (curtis shouted from across the net) T H A N K Y O U !!! (smile)
IT WORKED.
I am very happy to say I now have an FreeBSD/Alpha 3.0-19981124-SNAP
running on my Multia VX42 I CAN (now) WRITE TO!
I did run across a few things:
# /sbin/disklabel -B da0
/sbin/disklabel: /usr/mdec/daboot: No such file or directory
# ls -l /usr/mdec/
total 14
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6872 Nov 24 1998 boot1
and under the SRM console, because of above, I still get (on reboot):
>>>boot -file kernel -flags a dka0
(boot dka0.0.0.6.0 -file kernel -flags a)
no such file
file open failed for kernel/dka0.0.0.6.0
and ....using 1124-SNAP kern.flp with the -flags a option for a reboot
(pressing enter, when it asks for mfsroot disk) it produces the
following [snipped]:
swapon: adding /dev/da0b as swap device
Automatic reboot in progress...
/dev/rda0a: clean, 222393 free (16769 frags, 25703 blocks, 4.2%
fragmentation)
dmesg: kvm_read: kvm_read: Bad address -> (i know where this comes from)
Starting final network daemons:.
setting ELF ldconfig path: /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat
setting a.out ldconfig path: /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout
ldconfig: illegal option -- a
usage: ldconfig [-Rmrsv] [-f hints_file] [dir | file ...]
Initial rc.alpha initialization:.
rc.alpha configuring syscons: blank_time/etc/rc.alpha: cannot open
/dev/ttyv0: no such device or address
and, ...if i do not set -flags option after the install and boot dva0 ,
it brings me to the prompt without any error messages.
thanks again, very much, Mike.....n'best2u curtis
