OpenBSD / Installing From Cf... (strange Issue I Had)

« on: September 12, 2005, 12:25:27 pm »

It didn't work! I tried mount it and install as normal. Same problem happened and I forced to quit. I tried list the mounted directory. I found nothing inside! I guess it was umounted upon running the install program!

I then restore it back to Sharp ROM!  

Can anyone tell me how they installed the OpenBSD sucessfully! the media set are CDROM or "TAPE Drive"?

OpenBSD / Installing From Cf... (strange Issue I Had)

« on: September 10, 2005, 10:35:48 pm »

I have the same problem! I used a 512M CF, fdisk and disklabel it with a Thinkpad computer running OpenBSD. I followed the installation procedure, fdisk and disklabel in the Zaurus. when it asked where is the sets to copy. I specified wd1, BSD4.2, subdir! When I hit return, it printed file:///mnt2/subdir/ not found!

I quit to shell and manually mount the CF and found that everything there. I did not use the / as told in the INSTALL.Zaurus. Install given up and don't know what to do!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Usb Host Cable For C3000

« on: July 21, 2005, 09:08:16 pm »

I buy mini-USB cable and conventional USB cable, cut both and assembly mini-USB to USB cable, but nothing.

The 4th pin of mini-B slave cable are opened (not connected), if you connect a mini-B to an USB famale, it is still slave!

You need to buy a new mini USB plug and get an USB famale cable from cutting an USB extended cable(USB male to famale), connects one to one together and joins 5th pin to 4th(Ground) on the mini size! Then it will become a host cable.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Usb Host Cable For C3000

« on: July 19, 2005, 07:01:16 am »

It is very easy to make an USB mini-A host cable. I cut off an extended cable to get a female USB plug, then I purchased a mini USB plug male, just connect pin 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc and connect the 4th and 5th pin on the mini USB. The 4th pin is the ID signal. It is mini-A if the pin was connected to GND. It is mini-B if the pin was opened. visit:

" I've created a HOWTO on restoring a C3000 from scratch."

Thank a lot for your good work! I lost my hd data when try to install openbsd. I have my hard disk data back, your instruction is very clear. You save my life! thanks!
