Boot-up failure: (Can't load swapgeneric)
zero experience Unix user here. Cannot boot our Sparc10.
Running:
SunOS release 5.3 Version Generic_Patch [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]
message says:
(Can't load swapgeneric)
Program terminated
Tried to 'boot -s' , but this looks like a problem w/ Generic_Patch maybe?
At bootup, the devices come up fine and it starts loading, then it has the error and terminates. Here is what looks like when booting:
Rebooting with cmmand: -s
Boot device: //iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3, File and args: -s
