Hi, i am just trying to install debian-mipsel on a Decstation 5000/150 with the bootfloppies 3.0.15-2001-10-19.
I am working on serial console and dont have a framebuffer nor a keyboard. At first the installation misses a short "Howto boot a decstation over the net" which is not that trivial. At least this should be mentioned: echo 4096 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth0/retrans_time and something along that you need to set a console as the kernel is not able to autodetect the console. The kernel hangs for me at the detection of the LK Keyboard (which is not attached) ------------------------------------------------- >>boot 3/tftp/boot/kn04tftpboot.img console=ttyS2 -tftp boot(3), bootp 195.71.97.238:/boot/kn04tftpboot.img -tftp load 1679360+1970176+198224 This DECstation is a DS5000/1xx Loading R4000 MMU routines.
