Hi,
I'm not sure where to ask for help on this, so I
thought I'd try here first.
I'm running RH6.2 on a 450mz Pentium III on an ASUS P3B-F.
I have Redhat on one scsi drive and Solaris 7 on a seperate
scsi drive off the same controller.
I can boot through lilo successfully to either operating system.
I have both UFS file system read and write, and Sun (Solaris 7 x86)
partition support compiled into the (2.4.0) kernel.
I have been unable to mount the solaris drive. I have found
(I think) all the relevant info on the web about mounting
solaris 7 under linux. I've attached a file with (I think)
all the relevant output from the boot process and attempts
at mounting the solaris drive.
If there is a mailing list that would be more specific
for this type of problem or somewhere on the web that can
addresses this issue, I'd be glad to know about it.
Thanks in advance.
David

My notes from booting: The kernel always says this:

If the relevant line in /etc/fstab (line 10, which is the last line) reads:
/dev/sdb1 /solaris ufs defaults 0 0
Then the kernel message during bootup says:
