Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 45

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
Hold the "OK" key on the keyboard or the back of the Zaurus and turn on the device with the
"On/Off" button.
You should see the maintenance menu and select option 4 to update/flash the ROM.
Select either 1. CF or 2. SD depending on where your update files are.
Confirm to proceed with the update by selecting Y.
Reset your Zaurus (press the little reset button inside the battery compartment and then press
the "On" key).
Install the kernel module ipk file that came with the kernel.
Zaurus Maintenance
fsck needs to be run on the Linux filesystems from time to time to check for inconsistencies in the
file systems and to fix it if there are any. fsck is similar to the chkdsk or scandisk command in DOS
and Windows.
Running fsck on a mounted filesystem is not recommended so the safest way to run it on the C3000
is from the maintenance menu. Unmounting the partitions on the MicroDrive is much easier on the
C3100 since it runs off the flash instead of the disk. For FAT partitions, ie /hdd3, use fsck.vfat
instead of fsck.
To perform fsck via the maintenance menu do the following:
Shutdown Zaurus
Remove battery lid and press the reset button
Put battery lid back on and lock battery compartment
Plug the power cable in
Hold OK button and turn Z on
Select Option 2 (data check)
Select Option 2 (run fsck)
Confirm (left option)
Wait for fsck to finish
Restart Zaurus (using the reset key inside the battery compartment)
The fsck from the Maintenance Menu checks all three partitions on the MicroDrive, ie /hdd1, /hdd2
and /hdd3. It does not fsck /home or /root which is located on Flash. In fact, there is currently no
known way of fscking a jffs2 filesystem which /home and /root are formatted as.
You should also regularly fsck your SD and CF card. Please unmount them before fscking them.
Here is how you would fsck a FAT formatted SD card:
# su
# umount /mnt/card
# fsck.vfat /dev/mmcda1
# mount /mnt/card
Zaurus Networking
Configuring a Wireless CF adaptor:
Enabling the wireless network was amazingly easy and straightforward. Just plug in the Wireless CF
card and the Zaurus automatically detects it. Then run the Network config applet and enter the
network info and press connect. Voila! That's it. Way too easy. This was the case using a Netgear
MA701 CF Wifi card. Not all CF Wifi cards are supported so your milage may vary depending on your
card.
