Brad asked about SunOS2. I have no documents for that release, but
SunOS 4s recommended install proceedure bypasses standalone copy in favor
of MUNIX and dd.
yes. I tried munix and it didn't work.
For sunos 2.0 the munix image seems to include a disk label also (I
could probably trim it with dd). "boot" complains with "bad format".
I
think it's intended to be copied wholesale to a disk.
But the emulator doesn't support the smd disk which the label describes.
For sunos 3.2+ the munix dies with a bus timeout; it looks like it's
probing for non-existant hardware. I tried fooling with the config but
was unable to keep it from happening.
I think the emulator needs work to run sunos - I'll try the author.
I've never seens sun2 emulator before. Are there any others? (this one
is pretty nice, mind you)
