Hi again,
I sort of mentioned this a while ago, but I need a more exact answer
this time. As mentioned, I need to make a BIG ENDIAN root disk to use
with the latest linux-mips kernel. As a reminder, we ported it to be
big endian for our SimOS machine simulation. I'm aware that you can
just put anything in /bin/sh for initial testing purposes. Is this
just automatically exec'ed or something early in the boot?
Anyway, I want a complete root disk (with /etc, /dev, include files,
etc.). I see on all of the ftp sites that there is a root-0.01.tar.gz
in the little endian filesys directory. Where did this come from? I
want to create the exact same thing for the big endian root disk and I
obviously don't have a big endian system to use exfsprogs on. Is there
a complete source tree somewhere that I can just make?
You mentioned that MAKEDEV script. How does this work into the
creation of the root disk. Is it something I do before running the
exfs stuff?
Thanks,
Steve
