Created page with "==Trouble== I'm having some trouble setting up 4.3BSD with this recipe. First, when I boot from the miniroot linked in the articles, I get a different kernel: VAX 11/780 sim..."

New page

==Trouble==
I'm having some trouble setting up 4.3BSD with this recipe.

First, when I boot from the miniroot linked in the articles, I get a different kernel:
VAX 11/780 simulator V4.0-0 Beta git commit id: 49911369
loading ra(0,0)boot
Boot
: ra(0,0)vmunix

4.3 BSD UNIX #3: Mon Dec 29 11:54:56 CST 1986
tadl@brie:/usr/src/bsd/4.3/sys/GENERIC
real mem = 8388608
SYSPTSIZE limits number of buffers to 134
avail mem = 7136256
using 134 buffers containing 524288 bytes of memory
Note ''tadl@brie...'' and the timestamp differs from what is written in the recipe.

Then, the devices do not get created correctly, since MAKEDEV spits out a syntax error:
# sh MAKEDEV ra1
mknod: ra1a: File exists
mknod: ra1b: File exists
mknod: ra1c: File exists
mknod: ra1g: File exists
mknod: rra1a: File exists
mknod: rra1b: File exists
mknod: rra1c: File exists
mknod: rra1g: File exists
syntax error
MAKEDEV: chgrp: not found
MAKEDEV: chmod: not found
The error is somewhere in the ''if [ $name != hk ]'' line, I think, but it is easily overcome by manually creating the required device nodes.

The real issue I have, however, is when formatting ra0h:
# newfs ra0h ra81
write error: 759667
wtfs: Invalid argument

This is related to the disktab I guess (wrong kernel? wrong newfs executable?). Running newfs with a different disk type works (but gives less space of course):
# newfs ra0h ra80

69792, 76768, 83744, 90720, 97696, 104672,

Any ideas?
