Since -the sub-hurd is never going to make it all the way up, you don't even -really need to make a separate filesystem for it; you can just boot the -sub-hurd read-only on your main root filesystem if you like.</p> - -<p>The way to boot the sub-hurd is with `boot'. I would suggest something -like this: boot -d -I -Tdevice /boot/servers.boot hd0s6</p> - -<p>The -d says to pause before the start-up of each server and wait for you to -hit return, which gives you time to go attach gdb to the task before it -starts running. The -I says to leave the terminal signals normal, so -hitting C-z will suspend boot rather than sending a C-z to the virtual -console device of the sub-hurd. (Note that suspending boot does not -suspend the sub-hurd, just boot itself; boot acts as the server for device -access from the sub-hurd, so the sub-hurd's attempts to write to its -console or open devices block while boot is suspended.)</p> - -<p>When you do `ps -A' on the main hurd, the sub-hurd tasks will appear as -unknown processes. You can figure out which is which just by looking at -the order of unknown processes that appear with higher PIDs than the boot -process. They appear in the order you see in the "bootstrap: ..." -messages, i.e. the first unknown after boot will be ext2fs.static, the -second exec, then init, then proc.</p> - - -<HR> - -Return to <A HREF="/home.html" TARGET="_parent">GNU's home page</A>. -<P> - -Please send FSF & GNU inquiries & questions to - -<A HREF="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><EM>gnu@gnu.org</EM></A>. -There are also <A HREF="/home.html#ContactInfo" TARGET="_parent">other ways to -contact</A> the FSF. -<P> - -Please send comments on these web pages to - -<A HREF="mailto:web-hurd@gnu.org"><EM>web-hurd@gnu.org</EM></A>, -send other questions to -<A HREF="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><EM>gnu@gnu.org</EM></A>. -<P> -Copyright (C) 1998, 1999, 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc., -59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111, USA -<P> -Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article is -permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved.<P> -Updated: -<!-- hhmts start --> -$Date$ $Author$ -<!-- hhmts end --> -<HR> -</TD> -</TR> -</TABLE> - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
