Solaris 1.1.2 / Sunos 4.1.4 - please help install problem
<div align="left">Hi,
I'll start with thanks for your consideration and thanks in advance.
I know this deserves to be retired/upgraded/chucked in the bin, but I am stuck doing this to try and upgrade an old bespoke program.
Please take the time to read this, someone out there may have the answer and it's probably really easy.
I am having a problem installing SUNos 4.1.4 / Solaris 1.1.2
I can do the boot to cd fine, install the miniroot and reboot, I run the suninstall and go through the preserve partition choice and installaltion choice, the system then progresses like this.
<b>System Installation Begins:
Label disk(s):
Create/check filesystems:
Creating new filesystems for / on sd0a
newfs /dev/rsd0a >> /etc/install/suninstall.log 2>&1
Checking existing filesystem /home on sd0h
fsck -p /dev/rsd0h >> /etc/install/suninstall.log 2>&1
installation: 'mount /dev/sd0h /a/home > /dev/null 2>&1' failed
easyinstall: Installation program failed.
Press <return> to continue ...
</b>
Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?
This is being installed on a SS5 with the sun 2.1g disk
The partitions are as follows.
partition a - starting cyl 0 , # blocks 62320 (41/0/0)
partition b - starting cyl 41 , # blocks 256880 (169/0/0)
partition c - starting cyl 0 , # blocks 4154160 (2733/0/0)
partition d - starting cyl 0 , # blocks0 (0/0/0)
partition e - starting cyl 0 , # blocks0 (0/0/0)
partition f - starting cyl 0 , # blocks0 (0/0/0)
partition g - starting cyl 210 , # blocks 608000 (400/0/0)
partition h - starting cyl 610 , # blocks 3226960 (2123/0/0)
* A little bit of history *
I was trying to restore a backed up system, but that wouldn't boot either because of a problem I was getting because due to the message <b>le0: TINT but buffer owned by lance</b>, I couln't find anything to help on that, so I decided to do a clean install and then restore the files I needed.
Again many thanks for your help.
