Thanks for the response! I tried reboot but got an error message. I really wanted to just have OpenBSD partitions in disklabel. :( (Maybe something went wrong with my disk geometry ( I used the default OpenBSD detected)
Anyway, now I'm stuck beyond that... I don't have much information about the hardware, (manuals in japanese, lot of Japanese web site, etc...) and googling got me nowhere for an answer except how-to reinstall the whole disk from a CF disk which I could prepare from files I found on the web and call the CF restore from the "bios" (Hold the D & M keys while putting the battery back). But I don't think it would be usefull to get back to the Japanese system (last resort)...and it sounds a very dangerous to do! Do you know if the Zaurus hardware will make available the CF card from the OpenBSD boot prompt ? The easiest solution for me would be to buy a CF card and a CF reader/writer kit and prepare the card to have the OpenBSD Ram Disk on it and call it from the boot prompt...if it is possible. (I don't feel spending $200 just to get the answer that the hardware will not make the CF card available at the boot prompt) thanks, Phil On 6/12/05, Chris Kuethe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > try "reboot" at the boot prompt. this should drop you back into linux, > and you can retry the install. > > i can't speak for what happens if you deviate from the INSTALL.zaurus > document, but I do know that the disk layout as given there does work. > > CK (who also messed up his zaurus on the first install and had to reinstall) > > On 6/11/05, Phil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I tried to install OpenBSD on my Zaurus SL-C3000.
