First and foremost, before beginning the installation process, MAKE
|
|
|
|
|
SURE YOU HAVE A RELIABLE BACKUP of any data on your hard disk that you
|
|
|
|
|
wish to keep. Repartitioning your hard disk is an excellent way to
|
|
|
|
|
destroy important data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, read and perform the instructions in "arm32/<platform>/prep"
|
|
|
|
|
specific to your platform for partitioning and booting (even if you're
|
|
|
|
|
dedicating a device to NetBSD).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, when you are happy with your NetBSD installation, do whatever
|
|
|
|
|
is necessary to restore order to the partition you took space away from.
|
|
|
|
|
This will most likely involve restoring files, but might involve some
|
|
|
|
|
other "house-work".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your hard disk is now prepared to have NetBSD installed on it, and
|
|
|
|
|
you should proceed with the installation instructions.
