At the risk of sounding like a smart aleck, I would very strongly
suggest that
anyone building a test kernel like this on an i386-based system, do so by
doing a 'make bzdisk' and have it expectorate the kernel under test onto a
floppy. This will help reduce the finger-pointing around LILO and
So, when this happens, and we're all living in a floppy-less world,
how do then do things like 'make bzdisk' ?
Beats me, although to be honest, I've had the same problem on Alpha
for a couple of years, although it's been months since I've booted my Alpha,
much less built a kernel for it.
While it's true that the proprietary architecture
vendors such as Sun, DEC, et al, had a large system
service capability mentality, I would think that, at
least for the Itanium2-based systems, be they desktop
or server, it would make sense to expand/enhance the
BIOS capabilities ANYWAY, if for no

Another damned good reason NOT to have spaces in

Keep in mind that the HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) for

If it is not on the HCL, Microsoft makes no promises as to whether
Windows will work.

Another solution, albeit extremely fugly, would be to 'exec
somenewscriptname'
from csh that would have #! /bin/sh or whatever defined and then have that
script execute in a bash environment and do whatever machinations you need.
I don't envy - the constraints are obvious, and obviously

Yeah, you guessed it - Microsloth only - FAQ specifically

Sorry about that - well, it's good for a laugh, anyway...

I was amused by this whole discussion, since the trick of
using 'tail -f filename' is fairly universal amongst the
various UNIX implementations. I used it for years on Tru64
UNIX and its antecedants while monitoring my testing (I did
TruCluster software QC for several years before my retirement).
OK great -
Both Tom and Ben Boulanger nominated 'swatch', which goes to
show that you can teach an old dog like me new tricks.
The capability of triggering a sound event is fairly routine
nowadays, both under Linux as well as under certain MS products.

AFAIK, no. I believe that the original development was
on some PDP-11's (11/45's?) that Bell Labs had at the time.
Those, of course, are 16-bit machines. But, I don't ever
