Date: 7 Jul 1994 06:06:44 GMT Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA Lines: 15 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2vg61k$obd@nntp2.Stanford.EDU> Reply-To: jonathan@CS.Stanford.EDU NNTP-Posting-Host: kahului.stanford.edu I ftp'ed the 4.4-Lite tarfile from ftp.cdrom.com, and cross-compiled a kernel (rom the GENERIC.pmax config) and linked it. Lo, after three or four trivial, obvious tweaks, I ended up with a cleanly-built vmunix that, if installed on an Ultrix root partition, boots far enough to ask for a root partition! (It doesn't get any further: I assume I'd have to write a 4.4BSD label onto a disk, newfs it, and build a 4.4 root filesystem first.) Is this to be expected? Or has someone, perhaps, accidentally placed a 4.4-Encumbered distribution for FTP at ftp.cdrom.com?
