Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This environment is designed to do only three things:
|
2002-04-19 01:45:37 +04:00
|
|
|
1: Partition your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
|
1995-10-09 02:07:44 +03:00
|
|
|
2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b)
|
|
|
|
|
3: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Note that the sun3 firmware cannot boot from a partition located
|
|
|
|
|
more than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk, so the swap partition
|
|
|
|
|
should be completely below the 1 GB boundary.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
|
|
|
|
|
the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
|
|
|
|
|
boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
|
1995-11-22 00:18:48 +03:00
|
|
|
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
|
|
|
|
|
dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
|
1995-10-09 02:07:44 +03:00
|
|
|
(For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
|
|
|
|
|
then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
|
1995-11-22 00:18:48 +03:00
|
|
|
b sd(,,1) -s
|
1995-10-09 02:07:44 +03:00
