Bash on Series 1 Directivo

[TivoArt]

Hello, I've purchased both the latest instantcake, and universal boot cd version 11. I'm unable to get a bash prompt after installing the instantcake 3.5c software. In the release notes it states.

InstantCake for your Series1 DirecTiVo unit includes LBA48 support, large swap, and has been tested to run on drives as large as 500GB. InstantCake will build the equivalent of DVRupgrade NetReady replacement drive kits; these are drives with TurboNet and CacheCard drivers installed, as well as bash serial access enabled.

Did I do something wrong?

nvm, figured it out.

touch /BASH_ON

nvm, figured it out.

touch /BASH_ON

Was the BASH_ON file not there, by default?

It has been awhile since I've worked on the Series1 InstantCake products, but I thought that was a default.

If the file wasn't there, you definitely did the right thing with the "touch" command.

Lou,

Thanks for responding. No the file wasn't there by default, only learned that the file should be there by looking at your rc.sysinit when I was going to enable it myself. After I saw the check for the file, I just created it instead of editing the init file and all is well.
