[parisc-linux] The 720/50 saga continues...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

I booted my 720/50 from a lifimage with a nfsroot... and it worked, or
something. :-)

I modified the woody debootstrap script a bit to create a new nfsroot
(basically I ripped out the running of any binaries in the chroot), and
ran in on my i386. That worked pretty well.

Next up, I added an init=/bin/sh to the palo kernel command line
parameters, and rbootd'd the make palo lifimage. Whooo, prompt! So
first, mount proc, next remount the nfsroot rw, and then run
/sbin/ldconfig. Looking good...

Next rather annoying problem: ls reports "Invalid instruction" whenever
you try to run it. cat works, mount works... I haven't had much time to
test anything else.

I also attempted a dpkg-reconfigure --all, but it seems to be missing
Term::ReadLine. I'll be able to work some more on Friday. Hopefully dpkg
will do the trick, but if not, dpkg-cross might...?

Any ideas on the ls problem?

Regards,

Albert
