From: k083240@hobbes.kzoo.edu (Stephen P. Gilmer) Subject: [Q] More questions reqarding reading of SLS install disk Date: Thu, 8 Apr 1993 22:20:40 GMT
I still can't get the SLS install to read my disk. Here is the info
suggested to me, and what I did. I'm using SLS .99pl2-55 (according to the
boot disk). Any help would be appreciated.
===============================
Get Gzip.taz from whereever i.e. your ftp server.
I got this from tsx-11.mit.edu on 4.8.93
use rawrite to rawrite this to a floppy.
did this .....
boot, then type:
mount /dev/hda2 /root
I did this to hda2 (put have 2 parts: hda2, hda3)
cp /dev/fd0H1440 /root/gzip.tar.Z
I did this, but it comes from my a2 disk, not the floppy I put it on
uncompress /root/gzip.tar.Z
Begining to troubles: When I uncompress it I get a message stating it's not
in a compressed format. So then I tryed to untar it, and got amessage
saying it's not a tar archive (can post exact wording if needed). At this
point I'm stuck. I have no gunzip to continue with.......
cd /root
tar xvf gzip.tar
OK, got that? Now use rawrite to rawrite the package that contains
sysinstall onto your hard drive, in my case : menus.tpz
do I need to specify anything more then d: (my hda2)???
then again do the above, starting from cp /dev/fd0 substituting
menus.tpz for gzip.taz and gunzip for uncompress
Remove the sysinstall from /bin
copy the new sysinstall to /bin then run doinstall again, it should
work OK
Thanks!
