Well,
I finally got my Jensen system to boot linux, after a fashion.
It wasn't pretty, I hooked a scsi disk to my 486 and fdisk'd a 100MB
partition leaving the first 10MB spare. I then dd'd the jensen-boot.srm
onto /dev/sdb( yes the raw device ).
I then took the disk to my jensen and tried the line from the
INSTALL_GUIDE for BLADE0.2 typing at the SRM console.
>>> boot -fl "root=/dev/fd0 ramdisk=1440" dka600
where my "boot disk" is dka600.
the response was invalid command.
upon farther investigation it seems that I can only pass a single
parameter to the boot flags. SO
>>> boot -fl "root=/dev/fd0" dka600
WORKS but ties up my floppy drive with the root disk HELP!!!
