Comments/Problems:
I first tried an installation via TFTP. I started it like this, but ther=
e
for only those 4 lines of output:
>>boot 3/tftp/boot.img-r3k
4247552+0+4096
t-rex-loader V0.1 Copyright 2003 Thiemo Seufer <seufer@csv.ica.uni-stutt=
gart.de>
Loading ... ok
This is a DECstation 5000/1xx
Kernel booted correctly, but didn't use the serial console... so I tried
again with:
>>boot 3/tftp/boot.img-r3k console=3DttyS2
And this worked. This should be documented better.
I first chose the language, but it didn't ask me for the country but
instead dropped me into main menu on "Select a keyboard layout". Maybe
this was because of 32 MB memory only, but I didn't get a message about
low-mem installs.
"Select a keyboard layout": doesn't do anything (I didn't have a
keyboard conncted, but anyway).
Hardware detection: it tries to load all kind of IDE modules, but then
skips it because the modules are not available. In fact, it also shows m=
e
a menu and the IDE modules are selected by default? Why? Surely this
shouldn't be selected by default on this machine. I'm talking about this=
:
Modules to load:=20
[*] floppy (Linux Floppy)
[*] ide-mod (Linux IDE driver)
[*] ide-probe-mod (Linux IDE probe driver)
[*] ide-detect (Linux IDE detection)
[*] ide-floppy (Linux IDE floppy)
[*] ide-disk (Linux ATA DISK)
[*] ide-cd (Linux ATAPI CD-ROM)
[*] isofs (Linux ISO 9660 filesystem)
These should not be on by default, at least not on this machine.
DHCP: normally (on installs on other machines), I get a DHCP response at
20%. Here, the first thing I saw was 40%, and it got an IP at 80%...
perhaps it should wait longer on slow machines?
partman: it feels very slow, it asks many questions: many windows are
opened which is slow on a 9600 serial console. I think it's possible to
run the DECstation at a higher speed. How can this be configured and can
this be documented? Also, it would be good if partman would not ask that
many questions and open so many new windows.
In partman, I first set up a root partition, swap and home, and one for
LVM. When I went to "configure LVM", it formated all the partitions, but
then went back to the "main menu on "Select a keyboard layout". When I
start partman again, I see "Starting up the partitioner" but then it just
goes back to the main menu. Ugh, everything lost after so much time. Ho=
w
can I find out what went wrong?
Anyway, the partition table was written, so I just went ahead with
"Configure and mount partitions". Again, /etc/fstab was empty.
The install was fine, but no boot loader was installed! I only got
"Continue without boot loader". I don't know why delo-installer was not
installed at all!
Also, kernel-image-2.4.19-r4k-kn04 was installed instead of the -r3k-kn02
variant. From looking at the code, I have no idea why.
Also, no ttyS2 entry was added to /etc/inittab
After the last screen when it tells me it is going to reboot, the screen
was not cleared and all sort of funny characters appeared (some cannot be
seen here):
S=B1 SIGKILL .ng the installation =20
P =B1 ., check that there are no =20
KN02-BA V5.7 (PC: 08019404, SP: 0812=B08)in the tray. If you made=20
Would it be possible to clear the screen or do something?
Hmm, most docs say you should boot from 3/rz0... but it's 3/rz1 here. It
would be nice to add some notes to the docs how to figure out the root
device. And ideally delo-installer should tell the user as well.

Loading /etc/delo.conf . ok
During boot, I get:
sed: can't read MOTD: No such file or directory
I have no idea where this is from.
I also get:
INIT: open(/dev/console): Input/output error
I also get:

I'll file a bug about this on shadow.
OK, another problem.... dhclient shows all sorts of funny things when the
network is not connected:
