- I got problems on a Hyundai SS2 clone running SunOS 4.1.2, the
- boot sequence tells something like "romvec version 2":
-
- - After breaking the kernel with L1-A, I change to "new-mode".
- typing "sync" tells "panic: zero", syncs the harddisk and dumps
- the system afterwards (because of the panic ?), which is boring.
-
- - Both "halt" and "fasthalt" are rebooting the machine just like
- "reboot" and "fastboot" do. So I have to watch the machine and
- type L1-A in just the right moment to really stop it.
-
- Are these problems based on the boot prom or on the clone hardware
- or on boot parameter settings ? Any solutions ?
-
- [our distributor is a clone only (:-)]
-
- thanx, louis
