Well shit, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't aware that this
distribution was sun4 only. :-( That sucks for me as well, because I
have a couple of Sbus Prestoserve cards around here somewhere.
Post by RichardHi Dave
Thanks you again for putting that up. Have gone to install but it looks
like it is a sun4 version and not sun4c....
ss2-le0# ./presto_chango
Prestoserve(TM) - sun4 Release 2.2
Copyright (c) 1990 by Legato Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Machine `ss2-le0' is type `sun4c', not `sun4' as expected.
ss2-le0#
Not to be deterred (some dusty memories coming back - I recall there was
trick to doing the original install back in the day) I modify the
arch=sun4 to sun4c at the top of presto_chango (there are also
#ifdef=sun4c in the presto_chango file so I was hopeful)
I get the following (which I suppose I really should have expected given
it had already told me it was for Sun4 (i.e. VME based sun4 not an Sbus
sun4c - was worth a try)
<....>
cp prestotool /usr/bin/prestotool

./presto_chango: 618 Memory fault - core dumped

ss2-le0#
I changed the vme reference to sbus in the kernel config but config told
me that "sun4c doesn't have mb_device structures."...I suppose I could
keep hacking away but I am picking there will be more issues and it may
not work as expected. Anyway config completed and so did the build of
the kernel..but not unexpectedly it errors on boot as not being able to
find the device pr0 (have checked and the /dev/pr0 exists) .
Anyone know the next step for this version or have a sun4c version of
prestoserve 2.3 or earlier ?
Regards
Richard

Post by Dave McGuirePost by RichardMy google fu is letting me down and for the life of me I cannot find
prestoserve 2.3 for SunOS 4.x Sun4c I thought I had it but cannot find
the
media or image. Frustratingly I have a the CD for prestoserver 2.4.1
(anyone need that?)
which would work great if I wanted to run Solaris 2.x on my SS2 (which I
don't).
I have 2.2, is that close enough?
