[9fans] bitsy ramdisk question: can't boot my ipaq

[F.J.Ballesteros]

Does the ramdisk partition start at 
0x00100000? 

Although I load a sacfs there, 9bitsy panics after
a directory checksum error while trying to load the init
program.

help needed.

i have a contact inside of compaq research.  i tried to
get him to find me a contact who knew about the [b]itsy
(inside of compaq they call it the 'itsy').  the h/w was
done at WRL, but he doesn't have much contact with them
so no joy.  some of the s/w was done at SRC.

just about all my other digital/compaq contacts inside
of research have quit (just like i did) years ago.

phew, I don't think the Boydsy (or is it Berty) would have been
a top seller

A PDA that says "What did you go and wake me up for, you damn idiot?"
and tries to shoot you!

nah, i have my 'carnet de tir' but won't have my permit to
own until september.  anyway the rules state that it must
be stored in a safe.

'spose i could keep it the crawl space behind the futon.
at least it'd be close to hand.

actually that's not a bad idea.  that's about the last bit of
free space in the apartment and it's quasi-well hidden.

Actually, the itsy was another processor that was done at WRL.
The H3600 is a follow up that was done by a group in Australia.
In the linux code written by SRC and others, the ifdef's refer
to the new model as the bitsy.  france@crl.dec.com is very willing
to answer questions.
