When installing NetBSD for your
|
||
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
||
|
|
system, you have to decide where you want your root partition and
|
||
|
|
how you'll be downloading your kernel. Since the
|
||
|
|
.Tn IBM
|
||
|
|
ROM rather limits your boot options, you won't be able to have the
|
||
|
|
machine boot independently. Once you load the kernel, however,
|
||
|
|
you may have the root filesystem on a local disk or you can configure
|
||
|
|
a diskless setup.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
In either case, you'll need to set up to boot the kernel over the network
|
||
|
|
or over a serial line.
