Re: how to install NetBSD/landisk

Hi,

thanks for the first replies.
now... where do I find the binary tarball ?

I didn't anything in the places I usually find /i386 and /sparc64 stuff.
I looked for sh3* stuff. Maybe this is a wrong regexp ?

TIA,
	Jo

Hmm, i think landisk builds were not enabled for NeBSD-4 branch.  I'll
ask releng.  Current is i a bit of turmoil currently, so I wouldn't
recommend it, atm.

Alternatively, just build a landisk distribution yourself.  NetBSD has
very nice cross-compilation support.

Re: how to install NetBSD/landisk

Mine is Plextor PX-EH40L.
I couldn't find any of the IO/DATA references outside Japan or America.

PX-EH40L is a model with the OS on the first partition on the disk.

For the moment, I just have opened it and check my backup/restore
procedure. I'm waiting for a serial cable (purchased on ebay) to try a
NetBSD/OpenBSD install on it.

I took a few picture while dismounting it.
http://www.tumfatig.net/grafx/hardware/Plextor/index.html

I'll write a small HTML doc when I will have finished the migration to
NetBSD.

Re: Re: how to install NetBSD/landisk

build.sh doesn't seem to recognize "landisk" as a '-a' argument.
does it work on -netbsd-4 or should I use some other ARCH ?

TIA,
	Jo

landisk is MACHINE (-m), not MACHINE_ARCH (-a).  Use

build.sh -m landisk ...

it's building. thanks!

I got the serial cable this evening so I plugued it on the mainboard.
The thing is I get junk on the output (same as if I had run  `cat
/bin/ls` for example) ; that is unreadable caracters. I tried hitting
ENTER but it doesn't seem to act as if the console got CR/LF.

Anyone knows what this mean ?
Is the serial cable not build correctly ?
Do I use the wrong settings (I use 9600 8-N-1) ?

TIA,
	Jo

Try different baud rates? 19.2 or 38.4 perhaps?
