Well, after a couple of days of pouring over all the AT&T manuals (boy there are a lot of them) and with help from the following people: "Bradley E. Smith" <brad@bradley.bradley.edu> "Kitrick B. Sheets" <ssi!kbs@uunet.uu.net> "Lisa C. Ingrassia" <lisa@netwrx1.nw1.com> Gordon Spoelhof <nobody@Kodak.COM> Kevin Darcy <kevin@cfctech.cfc.com> L Testerville <tester@cmcl2.NYU.EDU> Robert Slaski <slaski@netwrx1.nw1.com> Wes Morgan <morgan@ms.uky.edu> Wesley Dean <wdean@css.itd.umich.edu> friedl@vsi.UUCP (Stephen J. Friedl) harter@ficc.ferranti.com kemp@amber.bgsu.edu kemp@amber.bgsu.edu pbhyg!fakhali@ns.PacBell.COM pgn@cbnewsc.att.com prg@mgweed.att.com vqh@dwx3bn.att.com I got the machine to work. I've got a new battery on order - I found company that sells the batteries for about $20. Special thanks is in order for Lisa Ingrassia and V. Hoang. I'm a system admin. for HP, SUN, Vax based machines (plus some weird ones). This is the first time I've played with an AT&T. Everyone of you knew about "mcp" and "magic mode" and mounting the harddrive and editing /etc/passwd. My problem was there was NO mount command. Lisa Ingrassia and V. Hoang inform me about the fsys command. Apparently I missed this one (-: Now that things are working and I can get in to fix the machine and play is there a FAQ sheet for this newsgroup? Where is a 3B2 archive; articles, source, binaries. Why is my kernel SO big. I've got 4 megs of memory and according to the message upon boot-up 2+ is used up by the kernel )-: Is this standard? A majorly BIG kernel? Thanks again for all the help. Now, hopefully in the future I'll be able to contribute something back (-: - Mike Almquist (almquist@cis.udel.edu) PS - Oh yeah, anyone know a place to buy or obtain 3M DC600 tapes? How about a ribbon for an AT&T 479 wide carriage printer (or a compatible ribbon if any of you are still using such a beasty). Again, THANKS TO ALL!
