  55                               <p>The LynxOS I put on t-mcpn765-1 was suspect as I had untarred a couple of different X/Motifs onto the root file system and the toolchain build was failing anyway. This was a good opportunity to redo this and make sure my documentation was correct.</p>
  56
  57 <p><b>Note:</b> For this building of the toolchain I used the 20210.xfree.tar.gz for the first time</p>
  58
  59 <p>To build the toolchain I did the following (note that I had already got a copy of the toolchain src and unpacked it onto the k partition):</p>

 135 <p>Messed up by not following all the required steps. Had to get a CD from Hardev in order to get past a preboot problem. Managed to do that.</p>
 136
 137 <p>The instructions I was given to follow for manually loading LynxOS were x86 based. I am expected to translate that to PPC. In any event, the makeboot -r 0,48 preboot is wrong for this PPC machine. This has caused me to have an unbootable system once again. How does one know what numbers to use for a given system?</p>

 182
 183                               <p>Thu's notes simply said "/dev/sdncr.0c -> load the 5.00. tot build". I was not sure how to do this. I did notice that I had never rynced my last PPC LynxOS build over to the T3 area so I did that. Still I'mnot sure how to "load the 5.0.0 tot build" onto a machine. My guess is:</p>
 184
 185 <ul>
 186   <li>Perform rsync process to sync up the build from dopey:/usr/lynx/dopey/LYNXOS_500/archive/lynxos/120406-C -> t3:/export/dev_archive/lynxos/archive-5.0.0/120604-C</li>
 187
 188   <li>rcp 20000.devos.tar.gz (?) and 20029.bsp_mcpn765.tar.gz (others?) from  t3:/export/dev_archive/lynxos/archive-5.0.0/120604-C/media/ppc to  t-mcpn765-1:/ (which is currently /dev/sdncr.0c)</li>
 189
 190   <li>Unpack those tarballs into /</li>
 191
 192   <li>Reboot</li>
 193 </ul>
 194
 195 <p>My fear is that the devos will not fix and/or I need other tarballs than just 20029.bsp_mcpn765.tar.gz. Also, just laying this on top of root seems wrong, what happens to the old 4.0.0 stuff?</p>
 196
 197 <p>The above is not really true. The process of manually loading and OS is more complex. It is codified into various expect script and detailed in "install logs" which appear under int_tools/INSTALL_LOG. Worked on documenting this manual OS load.</p>
