bootx weirdness
hi,
been having a problem booting last few days. what used to work was
booting via quik, but now all i get in OF "cannot OPEN
/bandit/gc/mesh/sd@X:0" X being anything from 0 to 5 (the SCSI ID is 0).
last time it booted successfully was 3 days ago, just the usual stuff,
"boot Linux" in OF (i have "auto-boot? false") and blam boots into
linux. but now, nothing happens, and it complains it cannot OPEN it.
last thing i know what happened was the machine froze as i was doing a
db4.2_stat -h-- (mistyped a -h or something) on some bdb files. i hit
the 3-finger salute (ctrl-cmd-power), it showed me the OF prompt, then
couldn't OPEN anymore.
the drive itself is fine, i can put it on the external bus (53c94) and
it boots fine, but not the internal one (MESH).
the machine is an 8500, with a newertech g3/336 (reported as 300)
upgrade daughtercard, and an adaptec uw scsi card, and ati lt pro video.
i wish these had 6 pci slots =).
PLEASE CC: ME. thank you.
