8.
Do you wish to continue? [yes|no] (yes)
Answering yes will copy
module_conf.c
to
/usr/sys/sun4m
, and also copy
module_ross625.o, module_ross625_asm.o,addsub.o, div.o, mul.o, copy.o
to
/usr/sys/sun4m/OBJ.
Type
yes
to confirm (
no
will abort the installation).
Installing kernel source files
Installing kernel object modules
9.
Add lines to files file? [yes|no] (yes)
This will add the following lines to
/usr/sys/sun4m/conf/files
:
sun4m/module_ross625.c standard
sun4m/module_ross625_asm.s standar
d
These lines are necessary to build a kernel that supports hyperSPARC.
Type
yes
to confirm. If you answer
no
, you will not be able to build a customized kernel that supports
hyperSPARC.
Installing new ld.so
Important: The ld.so from Sun Patch number 100257 (revision 6 and prior) does not implement the iflush
instruction. This instruction is necessary to correctly support hyperSPARC’s internal instruction cache. If you
are running SunOS 4.1.3, make sure to install the ld.so included in the ROSS CD-ROM.
Note: Answer
no
to step 9. if you have already installed a hyperSPARC patch.
10.
Install client kernel in /usr/stand? [yes|no] (yes)
This will install
vmunix
and
vmunix_small
in
/usr/stand
. These extra kernels are needed to
provide diskless clients with a kernel that supports hyperSPARC.
Type
yes
to confirm. If you answer
no
any diskless clients created in the future will not have a kernel
that supports hyperSPARC.
11.
Install generic kernel? [yes|no] (yes)
This installs
vmunix
into the root directory.
Type
yes
to confirm. If you do not install the generic kernel, you will have to create a customized
kernel to run hyperSPARC.
Saving old kernel as vmunix–
The hypersparc SunOS 4.1.3 sun4m patch installation is complete. You may
now reboot with the new generic kernel or configure and build a custom
kernel and reboot later
.
12.
Reboot with the new generic kernel? [yes|no] (yes)
Type
no
. Answering
yes
will reboot the system. At this point the software installation is complete. You
can reboot the system with your original CPUs to confirm that the patch is correctly installed. If you
decide to reboot the system, ensure that all other users on the system are alerted before you do so.
