A few days ago I had a new SL-C3200 delivered and tried my first openbsd installation on it. I should have probably practiced on an i386 box or something first, because when it came to the disk partitioning steps I got confused and ended up doing something nasty to it.
I can't really remember what I did, but basically I think I wiped out some crucial linux partition(s) leaving only what I think was an OpenBSD / and swap partitions. Knowing I'd probably messed up, I figured I'd try to continue with the install - I was hoping to retrieve the binaries using the Planex GW-CF11X 802.11b card which I bought with the Zaurus, but the installer didn't seem to know about it, so I aborted the install, thinking I'd be able to start it all over again. But now when I boot up, following the white "SHARP" screen, I get CODE probing: cn0 com0 com1 com2 disk: hd0* >> OpenBSD/zaurus BOOT 2.08 boot> booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: No such file or directory failed(2). will try /obsd boot> booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: No such file or directory failed(2). will try /obsd ... This goes on for a while and eventually stops with CODE Turning timeout off. boot> If I then type "reboot", I get CODE Rebooting... mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /hdd1 failed: Invalid argument HDD1 Error!! So I've discovered the reliance on linux the hard way Can anyone point me to instructions on how to get things back to a point where I can try installing OpenBSD again? I've seen many references to a page which is said to have recovery instructions for SL-C3000 but the site doesn't seem to be working, and I cant find copies of it in archive.org or google's cache. I'd be grateful for any help with this. Cheers |
