Hi there!
I'm setting up an A/UX system (on a IIci) for the first time, but I
ran into some problems, and have a few questions. I should also
mention that I was an admisistrator on a AT&T 3b2 several years ago
(but I got better) so I'm not a complete UNIX novice.
First problem is the missing hard disk partition. I'm using
SilverLining to partiton a Quantum 210. I've got a total of 9
partitions, 5 of which belong to UNIX. They are (USE): A/UX Root &
Usr slice 0, A/UX Swap slice 1, A/UX Autorecovery, Free A/UX slice
3, and A/UX Usr slice 2 in that physical order on the disk (the Mac
partiton is between the last two).
My problem is that I can't access slice 3. There is no
/dev/dsk/c6d0s3 ! I've set up the /etc/disktab from the info given
by SilverLining. Please help, I'd like to put /users in this
partiton.
I also hav a non-Appletalk DeskWriter and would like to be able to
use it. I know this has been discussed, so would some kind soul
summarize for me or point me to an archive of this?
Another thing which has been discussed here is using a SyQuest
removeable drive with A/UX. I would like to be able to both mount
file systems, and use it for backup. Can anyone send me info?
Well, before I clog up the net, I'll finish up.
Thanx a ton!

You will have to create the entry by hand using mknod. look at similar entries in /dev/dsk (and /dev/rdsk) and do the c6d0s3 entry similarly. I'm sorry that I can't be more specific - my IIci is at home. I posted a detailed description of my AUX startup problems and work arounds this summer (the week AUX 2.0 started to ship) If you have access to comp.unix.aux archives, you might try looking the article up... a.schnable@att.com

In article <3453@wrgate.WR.TEK.COM>, I wrote: You need to use mknod to add these. I don't have my manuals handy (and I'm not running A/UX at the moment), so please double check this before placing complete faith in my memory. But try this: mknod /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 b 29 3 chmod go-r /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 chown bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 chgrp bin /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 mknod /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 c 29 3 chmod go-r /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 chown bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 chgrp bin /dev/rdsk/c0d0s3 Then proceed as directed in the Peripherals manual (newfs, mount, etc). You will need to change all instances of "c0d0s3" to "c6d0s3", and you will need to determine the correct major device number (29 in my example) by doing "ls -lt /dev/dsk/c6d0s0".
