Re: [cobalt-developers] swatch_get_defcon_disk()

[Timothy Stonis <timothy.stonis@xxxxxxx>]

 Well, I have two answers for you.

 1) If you want to get the machine to boot off /dev/md1, hold down the "s"
button while turning on the machine and wait for the ROM menu on the LCD..
It will say "Select option:" Hit "s" until is says: "Config boot disk" and
then use the "s" key to select "md1" then hit "e" The system will boot off
md1. 

 2) The perl library for swatch can be found in
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/swatch.pm

 Hope this helps.
