I managed to download the whole bit, reformat & repartition my hard drive
(not without difficulty), make the MacBSD filesystem, install all the
files on my drive and build the devices. Now.
I have a IIvx, and, yes, I noticed that part about "will boot and are
accessible from a serial terminal or SLIP". I do not, however, have
access to a cheap serial terminal (how I wish I still had my old Televideo
CP/M machine!) and I'm wondering if there's any hope. Has anyone gotten
MacBSD working via an onscreen console on the IIvx? Yes, I did try
booting it in the normal, single user fashion but without selecting the
serial terminal radio button. It tried to boot, showed me some numbers
and then said "So I sez to him...[something about a serial terminal
blocked from my memory]."
And BTW: What's so all-fired odd about IIvx's that they seem to be the
only '030 machine excluded from running several funky programs? Is it the
internal video? WHAT?!
Thanks in advance.
