Hi,
I recently acquired an old Sun3 with a Fujitsu Eagle disk. This disk has
SunOS 3.5 on it. Parts of the installation were missing, though. I wanted
to build a new kernel with SCSI support and extracted the sys stuff
from a 3.5EXPORT release tape. My machine however runs
plain 3.5.
I can build a new kernel, but some things won?t worked like allowing
logins when a password is set.
Is there anyone out there who could provide me with a tar of /usr/sys
from a complete working SunOS 3.5 running on sun3?
As a second question: The SunOS boot disk is a Fujitsu Eagle that
often reports errors. I have a second Eagle that I might use as a backup,
but I would have to reformat the second disks. How can I do that with
SunOS 3.5? There is no ?format? command apparently.
thanks,
Dennis
