[comp.unix.aux] A/UX Novice has questions

phil@vaxphw.enet.dec.com (Phil Hunt) (07/11/90)

Hi,

Let me preface the following with the statment that I have NEVER run UNIX
before, but have used a Mac since 1984 and computers since 1978.  So, although
my questions might seem trivial, they are from a lack of UNIX knowledge...

I just installed A/UX 2.0 on a Mac IIci (8 meg) system.  I installed onto a
Conners 105 mb disk using Silverlining to do the partitioning.  I also have
connected 2 other HD drives, a 665meg and a 332meg.  Everything went perfectly
until I start A/UX up.

=====
Problem 1:
It says Checking, installing drivers etc just fine, then the login screen comes
up.  I login as root, it says 'starting session for root', then I start getting
the following messages:

scsitask: unrecognized message 0x1
disk write c0d0s0: Error: Unit attention
Logical block 8256, physical block 9714
retry successful, try = 2

I get this kind of message about 12 times (BTW, To see these messages I had to
be in B&W mode, in 8-bit mode they came out real small, like old Macpaint runnig
on a color Mac did).  After these 12 messages, taking about 2 minutes, the
desktop appears correctly.

=====
Problem 2:  My other 2 MAC disks (665 and 332 meg) do not mount onto the
desktop.

=====
Problem 3:  When I go into the folder 'Useful commands' and try to set the date
like the manual says, I get an alert saying:

The File "Commandshell24" could not be opened (This application is not
compatible with the running system).

I tried alot of other programs and the same thing happens.

=====
HELP!!!
