I've got 386bsd installed and booting from the hard disk with no
problems. I can't get it to boot with anything other than the kernel
it is shipped with though. When I try it just sits there with the
access lights for the first floppy drive and the hard disk on, doing
nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work, the only way out is to power
off, boot from floppy, mount the disk and copy the old kernel back.
Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong?
Another problem appears in the kernel building itself - I get an
undefined symbol error for version. I got around this by adding a
declaration
char *version="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
This works, but surely config should generate this by itself. To
create the Makefile etc. I cd to /usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386.conf and
type something like "config SMALL" - is there anything else I need to
do?
All of this is on an Elonex PC 386B/25, a 386SX machine.
Thanks in advance
