[Simh] Reno followup...

[Jason]

For the fun of it I re-installed 4.3 then made a copy of the 4.3 disk & put
it in the ra1 position, and used that as a starting place to manually
restore reno onto ra1..

Here are my steps for anyone interested:

-inside 4.3-----
newfs /dev/ra1a ra81
mount /dev/ra1a /mnt2
cd /mnt2
mt rew
mt fsf 2
restore r
newfs /dev/ra1g ra81
mount /dev/ra1g /mnt2/usr
cd /mnt2/usr
mt rew
mt fsf 3
tar xpbf 20 /dev/rmt12
----
inject the following into /mnt2/etc/rc after export $PATH
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
mount -uw /dev/ra0a /
echo 'here we go'
sh
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
cp /mnt2/usr/mdec/* /mnt2/mdec
umount /dev/ra1g
umount /dev/ra1a
halt


-Now boot into 4.3RENO----
mount /dev/ra0g /usr
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ts0
./MAKEDEV dz0
./MAKEDEV pty0
----
time to create /etc/fstab
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
cat > /etc/fstab
/dev/ra0a	/	ufs	rw	1 1
/dev/ra0g	/usr	ufs	rw	1 2
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
touch /var/spool/uucp/ERRORS
----
comment out the following lines in /etc/netstart
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
#ifconfig imp0 inet $hostname
#ifconfig ace0 inet $hostname netmask my-netmask
#ifconfig ex0 inet $hostname netmask my-netmask
#ifconfig en0 inet $hostname netmask my-netmask
---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<
Now we can finally remove the lines we injected into /etc/rc
Reboot & enjoy!

You should get something like this:

---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<

Unfortunately the dz0 doesn't seem to work...

And for completeness here is the config file I used to go between 4.3 & 4.3
