| 00:11.50 | demon | afksky: um, either (a) you need the right username and password, or (b) you need to do the following: |
| 00:12.13 | demon | reboot the system (the nice way, if possible) |
| 00:12.29 | demon | at the yaboot boot prompt, press [Tab] to list the boot images |
| 00:12.53 | demon | type the default image name, with ' init=/bin/sh' appended |
| 00:13.20 | demon | the kernel will boot and dump you at a 'init-2.05#' prompt |
| 00:13.39 | demon | type 'mount -o remount,rw /' |
| 00:13.39 | afksky | ok |
| 00:13.55 | demon | run 'passwd root', enter the new password twice as directed |
| 00:14.12 | demon | then run 'mount -o remount,ro / ; sync ; sync ; reboot -f' |
| 00:14.20 | demon | then let the system boot the usual way |
| 00:14.31 | demon | log in as root with the password you set before |
| 00:14.48 | afksky | ok i have just tryed what you said and i get this |
| 00:14.50 | afksky | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:14.51 | afksky | Can't find / in /etc/fstab |

| 00:15.09 | demon | hm |
| 00:15.14 | demon | are you using an initrd? |
| 00:16.21 | afksky | i am using a zimage and booting the floppy install and going to prompt that way.. it seem to be the only way i can get a prompt |

| 00:18.29 | huhlig_ | so is minix on an imac impressive? |

| 00:19.48 | huhlig_ | my mind is buggered today |
| 00:20.09 | demon | afksky: do you know what device your root fs is on? |
| 00:20.25 | afksky | sda2 i think |
| 00:20.27 | demon | ok |
| 00:20.46 | demon | what fs? ext3, I'm guessing? |
| 00:20.53 | demon | try this: |
| 00:20.59 | afksky | i think so |
| 00:21.01 | afksky | ok |
| 00:21.06 | demon | mkdir /target ; mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /target |
| 00:21.19 | demon | then do chroot /target /bin/bash |
| 00:21.42 | afksky | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:21.43 | afksky | mkdir: Cannot create directory `/target': File exists |
| 00:21.43 | afksky | mount: Mounting /dev/sda2 on /target failed: Invalid argument |
| 00:21.43 | demon | then run 'passwd root' at a prompt |
| 00:21.49 | demon | um... |
| 00:22.11 | demon | maybe it's ext2? |
| 00:22.18 | afksky | ok |
| 00:22.19 | demon | try doing this: |
| 00:22.27 | demon | mount -t auto /dev/sda2 /target |
| 00:22.49 | afksky | it seems to have worked |
| 00:22.52 | demon | ok |
| 00:22.59 | demon | now do the chroot cmdline |
| 00:23.04 | demon | then run 'passwd root' |
| 00:23.15 | demon | and enter the new password when prompted |
| 00:23.30 | demon | once that's succeeded, type 'exit' |
| 00:23.43 | demon | then do 'umount /target' |
| 00:23.46 | demon | and reboot the system |
| 00:24.06 | demon | and you should then be able to login as root |

| 00:32.53 | shadows | i've heard successes |

| 00:33.38 | calkj | but not on a pismo? |
| 00:33.53 | demon | well... no |
| 00:34.03 | demon | if you flip to 16bpp you should be able to get it working |
| 00:34.31 | demon | but not in 24/32... not enough vram, because DRI on rage128 uses static buffer allocations |
| 00:34.43 | calkj | demon: ok i see |
| 00:35.02 | demon | like in my XFree86.0.log I get: |
