sparcstation 5

  • if it keeps trying to boot from network, try pressing STOP and A at the same time, and to fix that maybe "setenv boot-device disk" and "setenv tpe-link-test? false" and then "nvstore"
  • at "ok" prompt, type

boot disk
root
sudo*room

  • once its booted up, open a terminal and type

bash # this gives you a reasonable shell, with tab autocomplete and other important functionality
ifconfig le0 plumb
ifconfig le0 up
ifconfig le0 100.64.64.37/22
route add default 100.64.64.1

  • but even with the following in /etc/resolv.conf it can't resolve domain names, HOWEVER nslookup works:

domain jackpumpkin
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

  • lol when i went to Netscape and tried to visit http://172.217.164.110 it said "Netscape is unable to locate the server www.google.com. Please check the server name and try again."

maybe this will help make these settings automatic?

echo jackpumpkin > /etc/hostname.leo

had to do this because the eeprom battery was dead

  • then after that, it didn't come up to the "ok" prompt anymore so I had to

press STOP and A keys at the same time to interrupt boot
