I cannot get my beige G3 to boot off the hard disk (I am able to boot it off a floppy, but that confines me to the 2.2 kernel on the floppy and is far from sattisfactory)
The setup fails to make the disk bootable because ofpath cannot hack my scsi device (sym53c8xx) I have installed a patched quik and the boot device is meant to be /dev/sda2 (is it a problem if it is not the first partition on the disk). The relevant of settings I am using are: boot-device scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 (NB I have tried others) boot-file /boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sda2 The command line for the floppy based kernel reported by proc is adb_buttons=103,111 root=/dev/sda2 video=atyfb:vmode:6 cat /proc/cpuinfo reports, inter alia revision 2.2 motherboard APPL,Gossamer MacRISC Is there anything I am doing that is wrong? Do I need to apply OF patches and if so is there any way I can apply those from 'nix as I have no Mac OS available. Adrian
