[K12OSN] Macintosh Client Question

[Jim Kronebusch]

Chuck, to give you an idea of where the 5500 is this is the last text I
see on the screen:

Pmac_init(): exit
Id mach(): done
MMU: enter
MMU: hw init
MMU: mapin
MMU: setio

Then it just sits there.

Okay Chuck,  I have a 5500/250 loaded up with 7.6.1 and installed Skip's
sea.bin image...machine reboots and gives me the boot menu then defaults
after a few seconds to Linux...starts to boot gives me some crap on the
screen then seems to stop.  No prompt or anything.  Is the next step the
server?  My current test server is LTSP 3.1.2 as I have trouble with 4
yet due to smp issues.  I see all of the different confs from Skip in
the folder from the ftp site you sent me previous...my bet is we need to
mess with these next.

Jim...ok..can you take a machine with os7.6.1 on it...In my setup we
have 600meg hard drives..i use half for a ghoat and leave the other for
swaop space..it is not necessary to do this..Once yo have 7.6.1 (even
7.5.3 will
work) you need to have stuffit expander on the client as well. stuffit
expander needs to have its preference set to expand to a folder on the
Macintosh 

.i start appletalk on a linux machine (a pc is fine)and create a user
named ltsp with password ltsp and put machkernelskipslatest.gz in it.
Then from the chooser i connect to the linux machine as ltsp pw ltsp.. i
drop machkernelskipslatest.gz on stuffit and it unpacks (hopefully
cleanly) on to the mac as machkernelskipslatest.. i rename it to Mach
Kernel and put it in extensions folder..

the mklinux booter has four pieces you need..the controlpanel goes in
control panel..lilo.conf and mklinus.prefs go in preference..mklinux
booter goes in extensions as well..

That should set up the Macintosh to double boot...check to be sure that
lilo.conf has these options rootdev=/dev/ram mach_options=ramdisk=8192

the sea.bin on the ftp site should simply do this for you..and the
kernel in it is designed to use normal dhcp on port 67/68. Lets try that
for now.. then set up the server.. which can be any pc using regular
ltsp..

this part takes about five minutes when you get usded to it..chuck
