Sarge install on a DECstation 5k/33
Hi,
after a short vacation, I though to retry a sarge install on my
5k/33. Yes, I am somewhat masochistic, sometimes ;-)
With some manual intervention (I had to install the kernel
and delo by hand, because the installer did not found a suitable
kernel), I was able to get it to boot for initial configuration,
but that's it:

What I am worried about is the line:
Using 0.000 MHz high precision timer.
Would that stop booting at this point? Other possibilties are:
console is switching from ttyS0 to the build-in framebuffer (I
alread removed the additional framebuffer, which was recognized
at boot), kernel simply crashes (an nmap scan does not find open
ports, although exim has been started), I am missing a boot parameter
to get the installer running, or?
Am I wasting my time with sarge and should test etch beta installers
instead?
TIA,
Uli
