: Hi all,
: I don't have TFM to R so...what's on the CD titled "Sun-4m Supplement (for
: Solaris1.1 SMCC Version A)"? It can't be booted or mounted or tar-ed or
: cpio-ed...Installation with just the CD "Solaris1.1" seems to have worked
: fine, but I'm more curious than anything about what's on this other disc.
: Thanks for any info!
Okay, this is a patch disc. The mount command that works is:
# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
Here's some info from the README:
Install Instructions:
(1) Make sure you have Solaris 1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3) installed, including the
optional "sys" software category.
(2) Make sure you are running on a quiescent system as root (superuser).
If the system is a server, any Sun-4m clients must also be quiescent.
Finally, the system you install on must be running a kernel with the
"hsfs" filesytem configured into it (all GENERIC kernels have it).
(3) Insert this "Sun-4m Supplemental CDROM" into the CD drive.
(4) If the CDROM is mounted, unmount it:
# cd /
# umount /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1
(5) Run the extract_patch script to invoke the install script on this
CDROM (install_sup). This install script will correctly install the
appropriate patch for your system configuration (whether standalone
or server/client), and rebuild all affected Sun-4m kernels:
# /usr/etc/extract_patch
Follow the instructions as you are prompted. When asked for patch name,
enter "sup".
However, you only get the README after extracting it from the tar file
/cdrom/patches/sunos_4_1_3/patch_sup.
Also from the README, here are the patches on the disc:
"This CDROM contains two patches, one for SuperSPARC systems (100743-02),
and one for SuperSPARC/SuperCache systems (100744-02) running Solaris 1.1
(SunOS 4.1.3)." However, some people noted that a newer patch, 100726-10
seems to be the latest, obsoletes the patches on the disc. Oh well, at
least I know now. Thanks to all who responded!
