After reading INSTALL.octeon, I was able to write miniroot62.fs to a usb,
plug that into the ERL, and perform a normal installation. The problem is
that the installer was not able to detect both cores, so it only installed
bsd.sp (bsd.mp was not an option in the set selection).
Running 6.2-release.
I did follow the instructions for setting the coremask=0x3 when booting the
installer, and setting the coremask=0x3 in the bootcmd. It seems that the
installer just wasn't able to recognize that it's a dual core system.
To workaround this problem, I downloaded bsd.mp after installation and copied
that to the FAT partition. My ERL can now run SMP, but as you probably
guessed this does break KARL.
Has anyone been able to install bsd.mp on the ERL and not break KARL?
Selected snippets from the install process below.
Cheers,
Scott
