- I have a dataless sparcstation 1 (local swap and /) running 4.1.1 on one
- subnet with the server on a different subnet. I've noted in /etc/rc.boot
- that in order to mount /usr, a static linked version of route must be placed
- in /sbin. I was unable to find such a beast, so instead I copied the
- dynamic linked version of route into /sbin and made copies of libc.so.1.6 and
- ld.so into /usr/lib on the local disk (using miniroot from tape). The "local"
- /usr/lib would be hidden once the server's /usr gets mounted.
-
- My question is: can someone please enlighten me as to why this scheme doesn't
- work. The call to /sbin/route from rc.boot seems to go fine; the specified
- gateway is added to the route table. However, the boot process still hangs
- trying to mount /usr from the server. I'm now clueless (probably always was).
-
- Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!
