That was it! I removed the CDROM and internal floptical drive, and the
installation proceeded. However, now I get the prom error when rebooting
that is caused by elf kernels on old proms:
Cannot load bootp()/vmlinux
Illegal f_magic number 0x7f45, expected MIPSELMAGIC or MIPSEBMAGIC.
I tried downloading the ecoff kernel you posted in the test directory, but
I still get the error. Maybe I haven't installed it correctly, or maybe I
am not typing the correct boot command.
I have unzipped the ecoff kernel and placed it in the installation (remote
computer's) root directory. (It does boot over NFS into the installation
script.) I have verified the kernel installed on the local drive after
installation is the same size. (I simply copied it over to the local
drive.) Do I have to run something equivalent to lilo??
When rebooting I'm typing: boot dksc(0,3)
3 is the SCSI id for the local installed drive.
Thanks!!
