Installation Fun on SE/30
Here is my setup:
o Mac SE/30
o 32MB RAM
o 350MB HD
o 20MB for Mac HFS (I will make it smaller down the
line), /dev/sda3
o 48MB Swap (May enlarge it), /dev/sda4
o The rest is root/usr, /dev/sda5
o Asante ethernet card connected to my router which is then
connected to my DSL modem
o System 7.5 (I just copied the Network Access disk's system
folder and then applied the Mode32 thingie. I wonder if that was a
bad thing)
o Debiam:
o Woody (kernel was done on 17/05/2002 according to the boot
info; it was whatever was available in the woody directory in the
debian website)
o Penguim 19
o Support Mac
o PowerMac 7500 I copied and uncompressed the
macinstall.tar.gz file so I could copy it down to the SE/30 using
AppleTalk.
First I had the bogl error. After reading the previous postings I
found how to get around it. Then I let the installer run its course,
having it check both /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5 for any errors. After
that, it was able to use my router as its DHCP/BOOTP server so it
went to the debian website and got the base file. I left the machine
keep on doing whatever it wanted at night while I went to sleep.
This morning I went checking it and saw it said installation was
complete. Kinda strange; I was expecting it to ask for stuff like
etc.tgz and so on, but it never asked. Could it be that it figured
out where to get it? I have enver installed Linux but in open/netbsd
it would ask which of those tarbals (etc.tgz, man.tgz, etc) I wanted
to install. But, debian here did not.
So, we reached the stage is asks to reboot. I let it start (to
synchronize partitions) and then turn the machine off. When I reboot
the computer, I go to Penguim and tell it not to use a ram disk and
tell it boot=/dev/sda5. After saving that I let it boot.
It does not go very far. The error message I get is:
Kernel panic : UFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
What could be wrong?
