i decided to finally try out debian, so replaced netbsd/alpha with it.
The install went ok, and it boots fine, but after that bits of it seem to go slightly mad.
Firstly, the date. When checked from the srm console the date is correct, however from debian..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date
Sun Mar 29 11:29:11 EST 2065
^^^?--------------------^^^^????
does anyone have any ideas other than forcing the date back 20yrs and a day?
Also, at boot, just after activating the swap partition, i get the following scsi error:
scsi0: MEDIUM ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 0a 40 c6 00 00 26 00
Info fld=0xa40e2, Current sd08:01: sense key Medium Error
Additional sense indicates Unrecovered read error
This seems not to affect anything, but i have not yet done anything that is to disk-thrashing so am unsure how much i should be worrying...
And finally, the petty question... Is there anyway of shortening the keystrokes to boot into debian? I have set the options from the srm console, so that a simple >>>>boot will boot the harddrive, but then i get an aboot> prompt to pick a kernel, and seeing as i have only the one, it seems a bit pointless.
( ideally i want this to be headless, so few / none keys to boot would be better )
Thanks for any and all advice, arthur
