- Hi netters!
- I installed 386bsd + XFree86 a few months ago!
- Yesterday I got new hardware (harddisks ...) and wanted to install
- some extra stuff.
-
- 1) I have a 386/40 with 2 Seagate disks 130MB (st3144a)
- The first harddisk was made by install, the
- second one I created a disktab with 16MB swap partition.
- I made the filesystem on the wd1 - everything ok.
- Then I tried to mount the swap-partition via swapon -a
- in rc and declared the /dev/rwd1b sw sw rw 0 0.
- but on bootup there is a message:
- mount_sw sw no such file or directory.
- The same error occurs if i change the fstab-entry to:
- /dev/wd1b sw sw rw 0 0
- or /dev/rwd1b swap swap rw 0 0 etc.
-
- So this is my first problem.
-
- 2) I have a 486/33 with 2 connor disks cp30174E and wanted to have
- DOS and BSD on the 1st HD. Before I had the 2 seagates in this
- computer with also DOS and BSD on the 1st HD and it worked fine.
- Now (the same configuration like before with the seagates) I
- can't start X anymore (only from the 486, it works fine from
- 6 386 and it worked fine with the 486 and the seagates!)
- X tries to switch to 800x600 mode than holds a second and
- reboots the computer!
- This is my second problem.
-
- Any suggestions?
- PLEASE!!!
- - Peter 8-(
