dfh (07/22/82)
I have a v7 system running on an 11/23 with 1 RL02 drive, and recently received an aditional RL02 drive. To install the 2nd drive, all I did was change NDEV in rl.h from 1 to 2, and make the appropriate nodes in /dev. This new kernal works fine. I can move files to and fro. I decided that I wanted to swap on the second drive to help speed things up a bit. In c.c, I changed "swapdev(0,0)" to "swapdev(0,1). This new kernal barfs terribly when booting: 1) It appears to fork the single user shell, but I do not get the familiar '#' prompt. 2) What I do get is the message "@U: not a valid identifier", and then it appears to fork the multi-user shell. (I get the ';login:' prompt). When I try to login, It gets as far as 'You have mail', and it complains again: "@U: not a valid identifier", and issues the ';login:' prompt once more. (I presume that it tried to form the shell at this point.) Could the problem be in /bin/sh ? In /etc/init ? If ANYBODY has experienced this problem; knows or even suspects where the problem(s) lies, please call me, or send me mail. David Hinnant N.C.
