-
- Yes, it is pretty easy. Edit /usr/sys/conf/mips/kernelname, changing
- the line that looks like
-
- config vmunix root on rz0a swap on rz0b dumps on rz0b
-
- to look like this:
-
- config vmunix root on rz0a swap on rz0b and rz1b dumps on rz0b
-
-
- Then execute
-
- config kernelname
- cd ../../MIPS/kernelname
- make depend
- make
- mv /vmunix /vmunix.old
- mv vmunix /vmunix
-
-
- You will also have to add a line like this to /etc/fstab:
-
- /dev/rz1b::sw:1:1:ufs::
