Thanks much to all the folks that helped me with the missing
operating system error. I used disk geometry borrowed from linux fdisk
and it works!
So far, I have noticed a few problems. With X (xdm-des), the
keyboard is flaky (<Shift>,<Ctrl>, and <Meta> keys lock from time to time,
and characters drop at times of high system load), but xdm-des -nodaemon
and xinit will not let me use delete or backspace keys. Does anybody
have any termcap entries or the like that would help?
I also have problems printing. Whenever I print, only blank pages
come out. I have tried installing /usr/libexec/lpr/lpf as a filter, but
that dosen't help. Has anyone fixed this? BTW, my printcap looks like:
lp|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:if=/usr/libexec/lpr/l
Thanks in advance
Chris
