I have been trying to install the 8.1 for the longest time now..
It seems to be running ok. IF i boot it from the install CD and choose "Boot
installed system"
If i do
>>>boot dka0
I get the usual stuff from the system up to:
- --<cut>--
jumping to bootstrap code
aboot: Linux/Alpha SRM bootloader version 0.9
aboot: swithching to OSF/1 PALcode version 1.46
aboot: booting from device 'SCSI 0 6 0 0 0 0 0'
aboot: valid disklabel found: 3 partitions.
ext2_init: bad magic 0x0
aboot: mount of parttition 3 failed
Welcome to aboot 0.9
Commands:

What do i do wrong?
1. I booted from the BootCD, specified network install and loaded all modules
i wanted.
2. I got the installer up, and switched to another console.
did fdisk /dev/sda
3. edited the BSD disklabel choose unused
4. Wrote three parttitions a,b and c then let fdisk write the table and
rebooted
Did step 1 and two again, made a reisefs on /dev/sda3 and a ext2 on /dev/sda1
and the /dev/sda2 became swap
Rebooted
Started the installer and pointed the
/dev/sda1 as /boot
/dev/sda2 as swap
/dev/sda3 as /
It complained about not having the right ID and set it top 0x83 (linux native)
The install went ok, (even remembered to disable ssh as it is broken)
But i cant boot the stuff :(
If i do it via the BootCD it works fine tho..
What do i do wrong???
