Good day,

Greetings,

It boots! Or something :-) After borrowing some terminators from my
friend, I have the following success to report:

I've managed to boot my 720/50 using Linux 2.4.9-pa20 (not -pa22 as I
stated in my original post)  over the LAN (with a make palo lifimage),
using a combination of rbootd (for the lifimage), bootpd (for the IP
address and such), and the userspace nfs daemon for the
baseplus-20010404.tar.gz NFS root.

The boot-up went as follows:

bob login: 

Logging in as root or demo (I modified /etc/passwd to empty passwords)
just sits there, until you hit Ctrl-C 3 or 4 times, after which it
returns to the login prompt.

So this is where I'm stuck at the moment. The unaligned stuff also makes
me wonder... perhaps it is unable to execute bash?

What's next?

Regards,

Albert

P.S. There aren't currently any SCSI devices attached, but I doubt that
makes a difference...?
