Hi all
I've got a slight problem(s):
1) During the automatic bootup I get the follow message:
a) lpd[46] : /dev/lp: no such file or directory
it does not help if I create that directory. I also cannot print
anything.
b) ./.X11: no such file or directory - in fact that directory is in
/tmp - but the system does not look there.
2) if, during the automatic bootup and off the flags are cleared or
information salvage, when the system is fixing things, setting things
right - it gives the following:
bash#
login
386bsd (Amnesiac) (vga)
login
386bsd (Amnesiac) (vga)
.
.
. another 3 or 4 times then it reboots again and the
automatic bootup then goes through its steps and I
can login ok.
What's the problem? How can it be fixed? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance
Greg
(By the way I've got a SCSI hard disk with and Adapter card and also a
DOS partition on the same disk as the 386BSD partition)
