Ralf and all,
Now I'm in a jam. I can't use these instructions:
irix-indy #./mke2fs drive
irix-indy #./installer drive
cjwsh> MAKEDEV
cjwsh> cpio root-be-0.04.cpio
[piles of cpio extraction information]
cjwsh> exit
[ a moderately lengthy pause, and possibly a bus error -- don't worry
about it ]
irix-indy #
to make the root filesystem on the indy because I can't make the device files
with proper major|minor numbers from the installer utility from IRIX. Since
nfsroot directive does not work on .131 and R4400 doesn't work on any other
kernels, I think I'm up against a brick wall. Anyone have any ideas.
Any chance of fixing nfsroot in the .131 kernel? I think that might get me
there.
Bootless,
Chad
