Okay, I've fiddled with cpio and rpm to construct myself what should
be a working filesystem. I've tweaked rc.sysinit to contain
`swapon /tmp/swap' right at the top (otherwise I get a panic straight
after `INIT: version x.xx booting' -- something about not being able
to handle kernel paging request), and from the Linux side I've
made a 64MB swap file (/var/boot/cranberry/tmp/swap), and `mkswap'ed
it.
However, I now just get an infinite wait after that first init message,
and tcpdump on the x86 box shows nothing going on. I can ping the
A5000 fine during this time, mind. Dickon has suggested that swap-on-
NFS may be the cause of the problem here, and that there may be a
tweak to make it work, but I've not found anything in linux/Documentation.
Unfortunately, /dev/hda is filled with a ClassROMed two-partition
arrangement; 35 and 5MB, where the 35MB is pre-loaded with a fixed
set of software, and the 5MB is a scratch partition. Even if I could
somehow claim the 5MB, it surely wouldn't be big enough to make it
worth it.
