- I have a quick question about the lp.c patch in the unofficial/terry
- directory on agate.berkeley.edu for 386bsd-0.1.
-
- I have applied the patch to the various files and double checked the
- changes, and when I build a new kernel with the GENERICISA configuration
- I get a reboot after trying to print something to /dev/lp (I did mknod).
-
- More exactly the printer starts to spit out a ROOT banner page and then
- the system softreboots.
-
- Has anyone else had this difficulty or do I have a small error I
- created?
-
- BTW, when I use the LARGE configuration the kernel builds but when I
- reboot with the new kernel the boot loader complains that the file
- (386bsd) is too large to load, andd tries to load 386bsd.alt and
- 386bsd.old. What is causing this?
-
- So, that is two quick questions, but oh well. Any help would be great.
- Please respond via e-mail because I have yet to catch up on this
- newgroup, and I want to read all messages.
