I need to do this because I have a sun3 with a harddrive that has (almost)
nothing on it, it has /etc and all the stuff in /etc, and /sbin filled
with: init, sh, mount, ifconfig, and intr. I got the netbsd /bin and /sbin
utils, but the sunos kernel won't load 'em. netbsd will (obviously) load
the sunos init (and other binaries fine). The only thing I can think of is
that the netbsd init is different than the sunos init, so when the kernel
goes to pass the single user option to init, it passes the wrong option. The
only angle I don't understand to this is, how many different ways can you
pass single user mode stuff to init??
Anyways, what I thought I would do is at least get netbsd booted in single user,
run fsck (/bin and /lib, and a few others appear corrupt), then maybe I can
access /bin. The only other option is do you know of anyone who still has
a sun3 w/sunos 4.1.1 sitting around where you could tar up and ftp to me
/bin and /sbin, and maybe /usr and /lib as well (big.tar :)
Any other ideas are certianly welcome!!
