So today my ISA bus is detected properly and the kernel gets as far as
trying to launch /stand/sysinstall, but then, just when I thought it was
safe to try and load a new snapshot:
rootfs is 2880 Kbyte compiled in MFS
spec_getpages: I/O read failure: (error code=0) bp 0xc34fc3a0 vp 0xc7ed8ec0
size: 0, resid: 0, a_count: 49152, valid: 0x0
nread: 0, reqpage: 0, pindex: 0, pcount: 12
exec /stand/sysinstall: error 5
init: not found
panic: no init
This has nothing to do with the 486 though; I tried it on a laptop
that was handy and it blew up the same way. I tried yesterday's mfsroot
image and it doesn't work with that either.
The August 16th snapshot's kernel and mfsroot images seem to work.
The August 16th snapshot's kernel and yesterday's mfsroot image also
works.
This is the third unusable snap in a row that I've had the misfortune
to encounter. I'm starting to think this is more than a coincidence. Did
somebody launch a "Piss Bill Off" contest when I wasn't looking or
something? If so, let me stress that you really don't want to find out
what first prize is.
