I'm trying to install 2.2.5 from cd onto system(s) with a DPT SCSI
hba. I boot with the boot floppy from shimon@i-connect.net but the
kernel that goes onto the hd is from the cd. Simon's driver seems
fine, but I haven't been able to test things (ie. tapes).
I *really* need some kind of installation procedure/outline.
1. Booting
2. Kernel installation (so I can reboot).
3. Kernel re-configuration/rebuilding from source
(ie. Which source/binary file(s) do I need to get
so I can do this? (& where do they need to go?)
For BSDI, there are bootimages, files & instructions available from
DPT. I've done this & it works quite nicely. I get excellent support
from DPT & have for years. Linux, SunSoft & SCO support DPT natively
(for a few years now). I've used them all.
I'm becoming more than just a little frustrated; this tedium, combined
with my hurriedness/carelessness resulted in a major unrecoverable
data loss (on the Unix partition I was trying to use to make the
installation media... :-((((
Many thanks,
Ken Cochran
