I succeeded in running the test in

$EROS_ROOT/src/base/tests/func/constructor_test

by the following methods:

To run from an FD
a) Set $EROS_FD to point to your FDD (/dev/fd0 in my case) and insert

a blank disk.

• You might need to chmod /dev/fd0 and you might also have to increase the size of cklog in the ../test.volmap b) make ztstflop c) Boot up from the floppy disk.

To run from a HD
a) Set $EROS_HD to point to the HD partition. (/dev/hda2 in my case)

• You might need to chmod the HD partition and you might also have to increase the size of cklog in the ../test.volmap
  • Double check everything, because this could wipe out the wrong partion! b) make init.hd c) make test.hd d) Reboot and use a boot loader to boot the EROS partition. I used Grub, but I think LILO should work just as well.
