I just did a "cp -a" of my /gnu partition onto oskit-mach's new home on the IDE drive. I was able to boot my "kernel-ide" with no problems. It happily fired up and gave me a Bourne shell with TERM=dumb and some error about "/dev/console is not a console". I assume this is normal for oskit-mach. For an experiment I tried to start X, but it didn't start with some error about "protocol not supported", probably the mouse or somesuch. I'm not too concerned.
Well I guess if I can get my source tree put together correctly, I will recompile the whole deal once again, maybe I'll try out the --enable-smp and see what happens. The HP 9000 is ready to go as a serial debugger. Just added an old Zenith monitor to it so I can use xxgdb at 1024x768, and the cross-debugger seems to work ok.
Here is what linux dmesg reports about my system.
