I have a friend who has a Sun i386 running SunOS 4 and is looking for
documents/webpages related to either of them. Especially for SunOS 4 manuals.
Anyone got any or can point me to information? Thanks!

Greetings,
I personally own the Sun 386i that Tarsi was kind enough to post about.
SunShack is very interesting, and I found some information on 386i's - but
little to nothing on SunOS 4 administratia.
The Sun.com address and the SunStuff.org address have *nothing at all* to
do with Sun 386i's, nor SunOS 4 so I'm somewhat at a loss to understand
why you posted those particular addresses.
Thanks for the first link, however.
My first real quandry is how to get the machines ethernet interface up and
talking. I have ie0 set up correctly with the right address, and I have a
default route in the route table... However pinging anything (including
ie0's IP, excluding 127.0.0.1) gives me a "Network is down" response.

how about the plumb directive ?
read the init scripting, you should find a plumb directive to ifconfig
if im not mistaken, that has to be issued before the interface will
work
try grepping your scripting for the keyword plumb
( sunspeak for plumbing i suppose, taken from the context )
Sun:/etc/init.d# grep plumb *
asppp: system("ifconfig " $2 " unplumb")
rootusr: /sbin/ifconfig le0 plumb
sysid.net: /sbin/ifconfig -a plumb > /dev/null 2>&1

ifconfig does not know 'plumb'. (You talkin' SunOS 4, specifically 4.0.1?)

My SunOS 4 install does not have a '/etc/init.d/' directory, I don't
believe this is a SunOS 4 convention.
I see le0 a lot, but I picked up ie0 from my Sun 4/470, which I'm using on
the 386i. Is this an error on my part? Should I try and set up le0
instead?

I have a copy of SunOS 414, but have yet to install it
( its targeted at some lowly IPX class stuff that is
boxed 2000 miles away but hasnt shipped yet )
And yes the older SunOS is BSDish, whereas the newer
stuff is sysV, but hey it was worth a shot
See if ifconfig -a dont list all interfaces

you might see the device mentioned in dmesg too
The interface name is hardware dependent, le0 for example
is the builtin lance ethernet chip used on lots of sun4m hardware

Still doesn't help me any, of course. :)
