dbx can't find /debug....apparently it isnt mounted...
i've never run across this before and am not sure how to
proceed.....
any suggestions??
eoe1 and eoe2 are loaded and installed properly....
what else is there???
p.s.
this kind of thing happens when our system "manglers" get a hold
of my iris....(they're predominantly SUN types....)
thanks! to whoever responds...wiltse@oceana.esd.sgi.com (Wiltse Carpenter) (07/03/90)

You may have one of the following problems: 1. dev option not installed Use the versions command to see what is installed: versions -vI should show dev.sw.cc installed. The fact that you have dbx indicates that this not likely to be the problem. 2. /debug directory has been rmdir'd If it is gone, just mkdir it and reboot. 3. dbg filesystem not properly configured in the kernel. Make sure the files I mentioned above are present. If not, I would re-install the dev option. Background: To run dbx, you need to install the dev option tape along with eoe1 and eoe2. During the installation of the dev option, the directory /debug is created as a mount point for the /debug pseudo-filesystem. Along with dbx and many other files, the dev option includes the kernel support for the debugger, /usr/sysgen/boot/dbg.o and /usr/sysgen/master.d/dbg. When you exit the installation tool, it should re-configure the kernel to include this module. When you re-boot, the startup code in /etc/init.d/MOUNTFSYS checks to see whether or not you have a /debug directory, and if so, mounts /debug. -Wiltse

The manglers probably deleted /debug, which would certainly prevent it from getting mounted. The only other thing that could have happened would be a modification/removal of /etc/init.d/MOUNTFSYS. -- Archer Sully | Ask not what you can do for you country, (archer@esd.sgi.com) | But what your country's been doing to you. | -- The Avengers
