- Hello again folks,
-
- Thanks for the help with putting the rootfs on the BSDR partition
- earlier this month. I found the problem - I had HDToolBox running
- in the background so filetodev gave me "can't open scsi.device"
- error message. I ASSUMED it meant no scsi.device rather than
- that the scsi.device was busy. Wap! Wap! (sound of me banging head
- against the wall in shame and embarrassment).
-
- The system is running and I am trying to attach the A3000 to an
- thin-wire TCP/IP network using the A2065 Ethernet card. I am
- using the vmunix.613 kernel and the older binaries - I haven't had
- time to download the newest ones yet. The A3000 runs Amiga TCP/IP
- under AmigaDOS just fine - I can ping, ftp and telnet the Unix
- workstations on the network so I know that the hardware is OK.
- Under NetBSD, I have edited the /etc/netstart file so that ifconfig
- has my machine's hostname and I have set the netmask appropriately,
- etc. The A3000 can ping itself but can't ping any other machine on
- the network. Also, the netstat -i command comes back with only the
- header - no information about the network interfaces.
-
- When I boot NetBSD, I see the a line about le0 appear on the console
- which appears to contain the hardware Ethernet address of the A2065
- so I assume the kernel found the Ethernet board. I looked at the
- kernel configuration files AMIGA & GODZILLA and they both have the
- inet option specified so it would appear that the kernel has Ethernet
- support compiled in. I am at a loss right now on what to do next.
- First, is the A2065 supported by NetBSD-Amiga? I didn't see it in
- the list of supported hardware. Second, did I miss something in the
- network configuration? Any suggestions are welcome (besides soaking
- my head in a bucket of water - probably would feel good after beating
- it against a wall).
