Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!
This environment is designed to do only three things:
1: Partititon your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b)
3: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
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
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 1
dd bs=16k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
(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:
b sd(0,0,1)netbsd -s
^-- 1 selects the swap partition
