Hi to all, I hope that you can help me with this...
SCO Unix 5.0.5, old mashine Pentium III x86, SCSI HDD 36.4 Gb
PANIC: exit � Cannot exec /etc/init (PID 1), status 0x00000200
Cannot dump 49055 pages to dumpdev hd (1/41) : space for only 48640 pages
Dump not completed
Safe to Power Off
ps. How to create a emergency floppy disk if the system is damaged
(sorry for my english)
The size of the dump exceeds the size of the assigned swap space. You cannot create an emergency boot floppy until you can successfully boot the system
The 0x0000200 error is file not found. So my presumption is that the root file system is corrupted.
Remove the disk, find another disk and install the operating system. Then change the SCSI ID on the old disk to 1 or 3 and re-install the disk and run "mkdev hd" to add the second disk. When running 'divvy' be sure not to change any file system sizes, and do not mark any of the file systems as "new". You will have to name the partitions though. Hopefully you will be able to extract any files that you do not have backed up on removable media.
