Good Morning,
Well I've got NetBSD 0.9 installed. I have SL/IP working. I download
the kernel source. I start to compile a new kernel. It blows up with
"cc1 internal signal 11" or some such. Well I start the compile again,
it works a little further, but does it again. Every now and then it
reboots even. Why?!?!
I finally get my kernel, and I still can't get wt0 to work. What is
the magical incantation to get a Conner 250 working? I've read the FAQ
repeatedly, but can't figure it out.
I'd love to be able to use UN*X at home, but this is getting rediculous.
It took me forever to get SL/IP working because the FAQ says you can
background the tip job. This didn't work for me and silly me didn't
just do the AT&D0 until recently.
I've read the FAQ, and I think I can now install a valid NetBSD-CURRENT,
why are the sources for the current that much larger than the NetBSD-09?
I don't have enough diskspace on my 200 meg drive to expand all of
them at once.
Thanks for any bits of sanity before I put DOS back on the partition.
Ciao,
