END_OBJECT = TEXT END In order to access GIF files with "xv.su4" under sunos 4.1.2 or sunos 4.1.3 , you need to patch the CD-ROM file system. There are two known problems with the Sun's implementation of ISO 9660 file system: (1) it does not handle Associated file correctly. (2) it will complain if the file type of a file is either ASSOCIATED or RECORD. The following is the fix for sparcstations running SunOS 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 only. There are two files: hsfsnode.4m is for sun4m architecture. hsfsnode.4c is for sun4c architecture. To find out which file to use: type "arch -k". To correct the problem, you need to do the followings: (0) login as root (1a) uudecode hsfsnode.4m for sun4m architecture -This will create a file called hsfs_node.o (1b) uudecode hsfsnode.4c for sun4c architecture -This will create a file called hsfs_node.o (2a) for sparcstation using sun4c architecture (e.g. ss1 or ss2) cp /sys/sun4c/OBJ/hsfs_node.o /sys/sun4c/OBJ/hsfs_node.o.old cp hsfs_node.o /sys/sun4c/OBJ/hsfs_node.o (2b) for sun4m architecture (e.g. ss10) cp /sys/sun4m/OBJ/hsfs_node.o /sys/sun4m/OBJ/hsfs_node.o.old cp hsfs_node.o /sys/sun4m/OBJ/hsfs_node.o (3) Rebuild the kernel (a) cd /sys/sun4c/GENERIC or cd /sys/sun4m/GENERIC make (b) if you don't have /sys/sun4c/GENERIC or /sys/sun4m/GENERIC cd /sys/sun4c/conf or cd /sys/sun4m/conf /etc/config GENERIC cd /sys/sun4c/GENERIC or cd /sys/sun4m/GENERIC make Note: you don't have to use GENERIC. You can use whatever you used to build your own kernel. (4) save a version of the old kernel, and move the old kernel to a new place. cd / mv /vmunix /vmunix.old cp /sys/sun4c/GENERIC/vmunix /vmunix or cp /sys/sun4m/GENERIC/vmunix /vmunix (5) reboot the new kernel sync; sync; sync fastboot
