- Hooray ! Despite the many postings re glitches, features, bugs, etc.,
- both 0.97 boot-image and root-image work;
- In addition to boot screen announcements of hd0 etc etc the following
- graced my screen
- sd0 @ scsi0 ID0 lun0
- sd1 @ scsi0 ID4 lun0
- sd0 p.1 start 32 size 51168 end 51199
- p.2 start 51200 size 40960 end 92159
- sd1 p.1 start 32 size 20448 end 20479
- p.2 start 20480 size 20480 end 4085?
- and so with fear and trembling i interpreted sd1 p.1 as sdb1 & used
- mkfs -c /dev/sdb1 10000
- when asked for /usr in the [excellent] install script.
- SO, the guts went on hda1 and the /usr stuff on /dev/sdb1 [AKA /usr].
- While this may be OBVIOUS to the cognescenti, perhaps my experience
- will be helpful to the less fortunate...
- BTW, i KNEW that my first SCSi drive was employed elsewhere as
- was the second half of sd1; apparently the size reported is in
- blocks of 512 bytes, wheres linux uses 1024 byte/block...
- KUDOS to the SCSI freaks at woz etc.
- ...and KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING
