Subject: Making a Fujitsu M2624 disk boot a 710?
Date: 2 Oct 92 15:41:17 GMT
Article-I.D.: cc.1992Oct2.094117.59365
Organization: Utah State University

I have sucessfully added a Fujitsu M2624A disk drive to my HP 710 system. The
system was diskless and I added the disk for local boot/swap. I create the
proper table entries and could install the operating system on the disk from
the CD rom but the disk won't boot. The 710 never listed the disk as a
bootable device. The disk drive address is at 6. The vendor didn't have any
ideas about how to make the disk bootable. Any ideas anyone?

This is mainly the fault of PD authors out there who seem to think that only

You'd get the update as part of your software maintenance contract I would have
thought. It'll be available on good old CD-ROM first I bet (fine by me, it's
the best way to distribute software, IMHO).

> What to do about alloca with the HP-cc?

I compile it (the alloca.c from the GNU Emacs 18.58 distribution) with -Dxmalloc=malloc. That's works fine for me (xmalloc() is malloc() from what I
can see - OK, I'm fudging it a bit !).

Alternatively, you could try -lPW when you come to link, but some people don't
trust HP's alloca. :-)

Huh ? yacc and lex come with HP-UX 8.07 (the Developer's Bundle anyway) and
I've compiled and used bison 1.18 and flex 2.3.7 with no problems on HP-UX
machines. Of course, this all assumes you *DO* have the Developer's Bundle
distribution and not the rather suspect "cut down" HP-UX that gets shipped if
you don't go for that option.

Someone has been working on an HP 48 (or more technically, a
Saturn with HP 48 peripherals) emulator that runs on Unix and X.
I haven't tried it, but the last time the author posted to
comp.sys.hp48, he _almost_ had it working.

If you want a really full-featured calculator, GNU Emacs Calc is
very powerful, although it lacks graphical capabilities.  The
symbolic algebra functions are more powerful than those on the HP
48.

I have an HP 12C emulator that runs on the HP 150.  It, too,
appears to have an emulator for the CPU used in the HP
11C/12C/15C/16C series, and a dump of the HP 12C ROMs.

Yes, there are easier ways to remove the boot stuff from the disk, but
moreover it isn't actually necessary at all, just enter boot
administration mode (use ESC to stop boot process) and specify primary
boot path as the disk you want it to boot from.

     There are three ways to get GNU Emacs running on an HP machine:

* Get version 18.58, which should support S700s.

* For vanilla GNU Emacs V18.57, patches can be obtained via anonymous
  ftp from liasun3.epfl.ch [ non-authoritative address is
  128.178.36.30 ].  The filename is "/pub/gnu/emcs1857HPUX8p".  If you
  don't have access to anonymous ftp, send email and I'll send you a
  copy (note that I haven't tested them, although I am told that they
  work well).

* You can obtain a copy of the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs", which is a
  greatly enhanced version of GNU Emacs V18.58 (note that this is
  *NOT* supported by HP).  While it should still work with other
  workstations, this version has been optimized for use with HP
  workstations, and has many non-standard enhancements, a complete set
  of laserjet-ready documentation, and many other bells and whistles.
  Send email if you want a detailed description.

  Note, however, that this version has a small bug: pressing a key or
  mouse button during a M-x compile will cause Emacs to temporarily
  hang and use 100% of the CPU time, until the compilation process
  outputs some text to Emacs.  A fix for this has been created, but it
  will probably be distributed along with some patches that will make
  Emacs know about X11 selections.  With luck, this will occur in a
  few days (everything's done -- it's just a matter of updating
  iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu).

  Basic sources are currently available via anonymous ftp from
  iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu [128.255.18.10] (as /comp.hp/GNUEmacs.tar.Z) --
  please ftp these files during off hours.

  Also note that power comes at a price: you need about forty (40!)
  megabytes of disk space to extract and compile the "unofficial HP GNU
  Emacs".  Once everything has been compiled, you can remove many of the
  files, such as the laserjet-ready documentation.

   Any idea of having Sun RPC running on top of RTE?

Yes. I did this some years ago (maybe 88? 89?).  I ported Sun RPC 3.9 to
NS/1000 on RTE-A.  It worked surprisingly well. (Only TCP transport is
supported by NS/1000, but that didn't matter.)  I used it for a software

but compilations were done on an hp1000.  I enhanced GNU Make to
communicate using RPC with a server on the hp1000, and read directories,
stat files, start compilers etc.

I was wondering of anyone inside or outside of HP can send me a small

In particular, I need xdr.o from /lib/libc.a and from /lib/libc.sl.

Turns out that there were a few subtle xdr bugs in 8.X that got 'fixed'
in 9.0, and the workaround for 8.X is awfully difficult for me.

So I wanted to just try to replace the xdr.o modules in my libc.* libraries

I dont expect any type of support, I just want to give it a try to see which
problems go away and which do not.

Also this can be due to using file system swap.  It is taken in 2Mb
