unsorted notes

• locate ufs filesystem structures on a disk or disk image: http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/scanufs.c (cache)
  • compile on linux by borrowing an fs.h from OpenBSD and changing the #includes (also needs stdint.h)
  • take scanufs FS blocks * 512 as offset for loop mount
• mount main ufs partition from the asv-richard image on Linux: mount -o ro,loop,offset=102400 -t ufs asv_boot.img /mnt
  • other ufs partitions at offset=139264000, offset=149504000
• dd asv_boot.img to scsi disk, set boot flag to ASV using bootconf.prg
• SCSI ID should be 0
• root file system on asv-mark is broken (c0d0s1 when using SCSI ID 0)
  • to fix from a system booted from asv-richard, with asv-mark on a second disk (I used ID3), run fsck using the first backup superblock:
  • fsck -F ufs -o b=32 /dev/rdsk/c3d0s1
• touch /stand/system to rebuild unix on the next reboot
• create ASV partition: /sbin/partinit -Iibm -o /dev/rdsk/cXd0sf
• ASV system management tools: /usr/local/sbin/X11
