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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.)
