- I don't recall that touching the /etc/system file would do it...
-
- From the System Administrators Guide, Chapter 6, page 6-16...
-
- cp /unix /oldunix
- cd /etc/master.d
-
- ---- edit the ULIMIT like you all ready did... ----
-
- cd /boot
- mkboot -k KERNEL
-
- cd /
- sysadm firmware
-
- Then the 3B2 will come up with a FIRMWARE MODE
- You'll have to enter in the password (which usually is mcp)..
-
- For the name of the program to boot...
- use /etc/system
-
- And you want to boot off the STD hard disk device which you allways boot off..
-
- I suspect it's the cd /boot ; mkboot -k KERNEL that has taken you for a loop..
- Whether touching the system file does what is needed, I don't know, as I usually
- follow the documented procedure, and it seems to work for me...
-
-
- Hope this helps...
-
-
- Cheers....
