First successful boot of my home-compiled oskit-mach!
I just did a "cp -a" of my /gnu partition onto oskit-mach's
new home on the IDE drive. I was able to boot my
"kernel-ide" with no problems. It happily fired up
and gave me a Bourne shell with TERM=dumb and
some error about "/dev/console is not a console".
I assume this is normal for oskit-mach. For an
experiment I tried to start X, but it didn't start
with some error about "protocol not supported",
probably the mouse or somesuch. I'm not too
concerned.
Well I guess if I can get my source tree put together
correctly, I will recompile the whole deal once again,
maybe I'll try out the --enable-smp and see what
happens. The HP 9000 is ready to go as a serial
debugger. Just added an old Zenith monitor to it
so I can use xxgdb at 1024x768, and the cross-debugger
seems to work ok.
Here is what linux dmesg reports about my system.
