One useful thing I got was a probe-scsi command in the new command mode. I found out
that the Computer does actually see the disk.
Currently I am trying to set it up to boot over the network, I can boot it from CD-ROM and tape, but neither of these allows you to mount a disk,
I tried tar'ing mount to a floppy, but the disk did not mount.....?
I got some responses thinking that it was an external disk, I should have stated it is an internal 207 Meg Quantum.... The system is 8 months old......
I do not want to re-install the disk as I have OW 3.0 beta on the disk, and do not have the
CD-ROMS of that on-site. It is a sparc2 GS, and won't run OW 2.0 in color...
Basically my probem is still the same, oh well, My guess is the /vmunix file is messed up.
How far would it get if that were the case?
