When syslogd is not started, then timed hangs the terminal session with it's THIS IS A SLAVE output. After getting all the new sources from sun-lamp, and compiling them in the order 'share/mk' 'include' 'lib' etc. and so on and ar'ing libc.a and libc_p.a by hand as lorder and co seemed to hang on it. I installed all but src/gnu. The reboot problem happened with 0.8 on certain machines, but not on the one which is running 0.8a now. A telnet with a newly compiled binary to the outside world or to the local hostname on the dev/vga results in a vm_fault(fe3b6200, 290000, 1, 0) -> 1 type c, code 0 trap type 12 code = 0 eip = fe00ea1e cs = fe000008 efalgs = 10287 cr2 290000 cpl 41a Probably not much as its kernel dependent i guess. It is only readable if the other machine is down, else the kernel reboots too quickly after displaying the message. If one telnets into the machine then one can telnet from this session to anywhere one whishes to. Unluckily this still does not fix the reboot on dev/console when trying from there again. How about implem- enting codrv or something. netstart relies on localhost being specified by the nameserver but as some machines have a different address than 127.0.0.1 some nameservers just dont list localhost, which means all programs using localhost fail due to unknown host, and the resolver ignores etc/hosts . maybe one should use resolve+. I also can't find any support for DISKLESS machines, is there any ?
