What else do I have to do to make this possible? I have 1) run newfs on sd0a, 2) copied the root partition from the network disk, 3) made a new kernel appropriate to the new setup, which works fine, except for the problem with ps mentioned in separate note, after which attempting to boot from it gave only Exception 2C at 00005E1C So I ran 4) cd /usr/mdec installboot bootsd /dev/rsd0a and tried again. This time it gets further but claims not to find the boot block and dumps me back in the monitor. What else should I do? System: 3/50 with Wren IV SCSI drive, running SunOS 3.5, served by a 3/260 , also running 3.5 Robert Bruner rrb@mathsun.math.wayne.edu Dept of Mathematics rrb@jupiter.cs.wayne.edu Wayne State University Detroit, Mich 48202 313-577-3179
