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!!!
