Well - my last idea about simply having ifconfig and mount_nfs on the floppy, and mounting everything else you might need has paid off. I now have everything but SERIAL_CONSOLE there. That is, I have this floppy that will boot up; start a shell, configure the network, mount a directory that contains everything needed. The scenario I imagine is: telnet into my machine. start kermit to connect to reproducing machine ftp a new kernel over (I had to build a non-shared library version of ftp; not at all difficult.) reboot the test machine and see what happens This should provide the needed access to anyone interested in debugging this beastie... (again, once serial console is "working.") - Dave Rivers -
