I dd (using all the right options) the miniroot (.sun4c) to the swap partition of a 2nd disk. I then re-cable the machine and boot off this as the boot disk. It starts to boot, gets as far as printing SUNW,Sparc20 and then the CPU speed and cache information. I then get (if I remember correctly) a panic: alignment fault. It's a standard Sun 20/50 with no special cards or anything, this is really frustrating because I've had it working fine on a 20 before. Anyone have any ideas? -Paul- -- Paul Civati =O= Home: paul@xciv.org =O= http://www.xciv.org/ London UK =O= Home: paul@xciv.demon.co.uk =O= Slackware is.
