- Since my 0.0 system is actually "on the air" (I can rlogin to it, ftp,
- run emacs...) I've been slightly reluctant to "blow everything away"
- to upgrade. Since an important reason for me to use 386bsd is to learn
- even more about BSD than I already know, I made diffs of the kernels
- and read things before trying it out. I built a 0.1 build tree and set
- up a sufficient config file (no scsi, no ethernet, no tape, MFS but
- not ISOFS, ddb, unofficial/com.cgd) and built a 0.1 kernel on the 0.0
- system. It booted, then hung; turns out it needed the 0.1 init, so I
- copied that in too... That booted to a (garbled, of course :-) login
- prompt. Did some mknod's to fix com1 and com2 for the new driver. ps
- -u dies with a floating exception, but we've seen that here before
- too.
- NFS over SLIP still hangs, but now it seems more clearly
- related to silo overflow than before, so I've got something to
- diagnose now :-)
