I tried the "single" boot option to mach_options. That didn't seem
to change anything. I also tried just mach_options= single (where
single had no quotes). Again, no change.
From My OSX machine, I tried telnet -- and got this:
setenv TERM
;telnet -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
[localhost:~] marcster% setenv TERM
[localhost:~] marcster% ;telnet -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
Trying 192.168.1.13...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Operation timed out
logout
[Process completed]
Then I tried ssh1:
setenv TERM
;ssh -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
[localhost:~] marcster% setenv TERM
[localhost:~] marcster% ;ssh -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
and SSH2:
setenv TERM
;ssh -2 -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
[localhost:~] marcster% setenv TERM
[localhost:~] marcster% ;ssh -2 -l root 192.168.1.13;exit;
Secure connection to 192.168.1.13 refused.
logout
[Process completed]
I'm just putting in the "IP" on my network that my OSX Cube sees, ie.
afp://192.168.1.16 (without the "afp://") This is all while the clone
is upstairs looping between the text login and attempts to start X.
That *is* the "server" I'm trying to telnet to isn't it?
Maybe I'll try "single" again in the MkLinux booter with quotes....
