The "standard" method of getting NetBSD/pc532 onto your pc532 is
|
|
|
|
|
via the console terminal and using the downloading parts of the
|
|
|
|
|
ROM monitor. As such, usually another computer has the distribution
|
|
|
|
|
on disk and is connected via a serial line to your pc532's console
|
|
|
|
|
port. A terminal connected to the attached host computer is used

|
|
|
to access the pc532 console via a terminal program. The source for
|
|
|
|
|
a program called download is part of this distribution. Download
|
|
|
|
|
sends data to the ROM monitor over the serial line.

You may need to find and read the documentation about the ROM monitor
|
|
|
|
|
download command and other low level comands.

|
|
|
|
Other methods of getting NetBSD/pc532 on your pc532 may include
|
|
|
|
|
SCSI tape or SCSI floppy disk or cloning a disk on a system
|
|
|
|
|
already running NetBSD/pc532.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have some operating system already running on your pc532,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use that OS to get NetBSD/pc532 on a hard disk much easier than
|
|
|
|
|
with the ROM monitor. (NetBSD/pc532 was developed from Minix/pc532
|
|
|
|
|
until it was self hosting. You can run NetBSD and Minix or other OS
|

off the same disk.)
