NetBSD 絹の日記

I had installed brand new scratch disk as /dev/wd1, and try to write disklabel. I needed two minutes to understand what to do.

pts/0:makoto@m08 15:58:58/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -i wd1
disklabel: could not read existing label
pts/0:makoto@m08 15:59:12/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -e wd1
disklabel: could not read existing label
pts/0:makoto@m08 15:59:18/091202(~)> man disklabel
pts/0:makoto@m08 DING!/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -e -I wd1
disklabel: could not read existing label
pts/0:makoto@m08 16:00:06/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -e -I wd1
disklabel: could not read existing label
pts/0:makoto@m08 16:00:44/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -e -I wd1d
disklabel: could not read existing label
pts/0:makoto@m08 16:00:52/091202(~)> sudo disklabel -e -I wd1a
pts/0:makoto@m08 16:00:55/091202(~)>

(But it turned out the disk was not scratch. It's been initialized and had NetBSD label).

I have installed NetBSD/amd64 5.0.1 (as of 20091103) and trying to run CentOS 4.4 with xen 3.3. Before doing that, I understand X11 is necessary. So modualr-xorg stuff installed. It runs after running xorgconfig + manually edit on /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Then I tried to run hvm CentOS 4.4, but it does not seem to run. No windows comes out after 'xm create centos44'.

＠ 4GB memory:

The machine is ML 115, with Radeon 3450 Video card. It had 2GB memory and Xorg was saying needed 310MB memory. I have swapped 2GB memory with 2 x 2GB transcend memory kit. But now it gets
(XEN) Early fatal page fault at e008:ffff828c8012f1c9 (cr2=ffff8300bef9f000, ec=0002)
I think I should try i386 instead of amd64.
