Yay! Booting into single-user mode on the S900 and then running the installer
using the commands as found in the inittab file. Once in the installer via
single-user mode there was a dialog box that asked me if I wanted to remove the
PCMCIA stuff. I was able to finish successfully installing the
Hello Andrew,
Yeah, I've done about 5 or 6 complete reinstalls on two different boxes with 3
different drives. The system boots into the linux kernel and the various
daemons and services begin to load. It stalls before any prompts come up so I
haven't gotten a chance to poke around at all. What
Does the system run at all? Can you log in and see what
init ID 1 is, and possibly shut it off? Read the man page
for inittab if you need to. The other option is to boot the
machine in single user mode, and try to fix it that way
(again, look in inittab and figure out what's going on).
There ma
Nope. Replacing the drive seems to have done away with the SCSI errors I was
having problems with.

Before the errors, did you get any warnings, or go into fsck ?

I worked on the S900 for a couple hours more today. Ditched the old hard drive
that was spewing SCSI errors and reinstalled OS9/BootX from scratch on the

to configure the PCMCIA interface that I hadn't noticed previous
Are you still getting the SCSI errors on startup, or was that a
one-off result of hard booting because of the init respawning? I have
been also getting the init id 1 respawning too fast on my 7300. I'm
thinking that the disk 'repair' chucks important stuff into
lost+found, although you should
It sounds like you failed to say 'Y' when the install asked
you if you wanted to get rid of the pcmcia packages. So run
dselect or dpkg and purge those packages. You surely don't
need them on a 7200.
I haven't a clue what termwrap is. I don't have it on my
x86 system, and I won't have access to
Just to verify that it's not my S900 that is the problem I pulled an old
7200/120 out of the closet and booted it up with a different hard drive. On
initial boot (using BootX) I get the exact same errors with the 7200 as I've
been getting with the S900--errors included below with my original mes
