Message-ID: <1909c824.ARN0fa6@cbmami.UUCP> Date: 24 Apr 91 21:31:00 GMT Reply-To: jason@cbmami.UUCP Followup-To: comp.unix.amiga Lines: 45 Hi, I was an authorized beta site for Amiga Unix and am now an authorized sales site for Amiga Unix. My beta machine included a beta version of the OS as well as a beta PIC. Our DSM has been unable to get us a current PIC, so that we could upgrade our demo machine. Today a Product Demonstrator showed up at our store with a PIC with Amiga Unix v1.1, is this the most current version? I don't think that this was the actuall distribution PIC but rather a backup of v1.1 off his machine. We installed it on our machine and are having the following troubles: 1. Upon booting up, we are greeted with the error message "etc/rc3d/s2rfs:/etc/rfs/domain not initalized." What does this error mean, how can we correct it? 2. Our A3000UX has 9 MEGS, all of which is recognized when we boot in AmigaDos 2.0 or 1.3, however under unix we get 5 MEGS total, 2 MEGS usable. Obviously we cant even run OpenLook in this, what is wrong here? How can we fix it? 3. We have CBM eithernet cards in the A3000UX as well as 3 of the other A2500's and A3000's in the store. We are running CBM TCP/IP software on the other machines. What is the lattest version of this software? How do I check what version I have? Our version does not support rcp between AmigaDos machines. Is there any way to implement a remote printer device? Currently we have the printer on one of the AmigaDos machines and have to FTP postscript files to its PAR: port. 4. What is the exact syntax for backing up the whole Unix partition to a PIC? I tried piping the output of "FIND \ -depth", etc... to cpio as per the AmigaUnix manual but it craps out after about 50 files. Do you have to format the tape somehow? Is there anyway to erase the tape or to force it to start from the begining so I could store a new backup over the old one? Thanks for any help on any of the above! -Jason- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason Del Mar, CA
