[comp.sys.sun] 3/80 binaries

datri@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (Anthony A. Datri) (07/12/89)

Will the 3/80 run pre-4.0.3 binaries?  Is the 4.0.3 distribution the same
for the 030 and 020 machines?

We've got servers with 4.0 binaries on them, and I've been told that we
need 4.0.3 to run the 3/80's.  What I want to know is if we put 4.0.3
binaries on the server, will they be the same for the 3/(50,60..) and
3/80's?

The 4.0.3 upgrade tapes include /export/exec/sun3 and
/export/exec/kvm/sun3 but do not include /export/exec/kvm/sun3x.  You have
to get a "4.0.3 Install" tape to get the files that reside in /usr/kvm on
the 3/80 - programs that understand the 68030's MMU is different than
Sun's MMU for the 68020.

The files that are missing are:
	/usr/kvm:
eeprom	ld.so	ldconfig   libkvm.a	libkvm.so.0.2	libkvm.so.0.3
ps	pstat	sun3x	   vmstat
	/usr/kvm/boot:
hostname  ifconfig  init  kadb  mount  sh  vmunix  vmunix_small
	/usr/kvm/mdec:
bootsd	bootxd	bootxy	installboot	rawboot
	/usr/kvm/stand:
boot.sun3	copy	tpboot.sun3

>From what I understand, its not a special tape you need, just the standard
4.0.3 release tape for a sun-3x. Then on your server you install it using
'setup_exec'.  (there is a man page on it.) and it knows what to do. This
is how you set up a server for any foriegn architecture (heterogenous
server).
