Ethernet Card Recognition under PPC 8.2 on OldWorld G3

[Alex Thurgood]

Hi all, it's me again, the Mac PPC newbie :-)

Well I managed to follow Stew's advice and get the root password
changed, and from there get the video card to display properly, so now I
have a running X environment. So far so good.

Unfortunately, the installation didn't manage to recognize my Ethernet
hardware. I've tried playing with the network setup via DrakConf, and
tried various modules that might have been possible with my G3 Beige
OldWorld Mac, but none of them seem to work, and so no network conection
as yet. 

I was wondering how I can get this information from somewhere on the Mac
side. I've looked at the system information screens under MacOS9, but
they tell me nothing, other than the protocols installed and the type
and size of hard disk. I haven't managed to find any reference to the
type of Ethernet hardware on board. Would anyone here know where to
look, or what kind of module I should be trying to load via DrakConf
(pref. with parameters, if any).

TIA,

Alex

8.2 PPC CD1 and CD2 not recognized file systems

[Alex Thurgood]

Hi,

I'm trying to install more software via GRPMI, CUPS among others, from
the official 8.2 CDs. However, when asked to insert the relevant CDs, it
doesn't seem to recognize them and just keeps throwing open the CD
player draw with a request to insert the appropriate CD.

I've noticed that from the console, an error message is given that the
file system type of the CD is incorrect. What does this mean ? Is there
something wrong with my fstab config, or is there something wrong with
the CDs ?

Any help gratefully accepted.

Alex
