However, we cannot -make a single CD bootable on a dozen systems, so the CD cannot be -booted directly in a DECstation. If your DECstation already has an OS -installed and has a CD-ROM drive, you can install NetBSD by mounting the -CD and copying a miniroot to your swap partition. - -NOTE: You should still read the INSTALL notes at the top of the pmax -section of the CD or FTP area (in the same directory as these quick -installation notes). There will be information in the INSTALL notes -that is not covered here. - - -In the following instructions, lines starting with a # character are -comments and are not typed in. It is also assumed that your CD-ROM -drive is at SCSI id 4, and your disk is at SCSI id 0. - - -NOTE FOR ULTRIX UPGRADES: -You will need the existing Ultrix root filesystem at least 24MB in size -(32MB is preferable), and the following swap partition to be at least -32MB (to fit the miniroot). Remember to use the same root filesystem -size and swap partition offset when you set up your disk layout in -sysinst. Writing down the output of 'chpt -q /dev/rrzXc' would be a -good idea. If you have a smaller root filesystem, but extra room in -your swap partition (for example a 16MB root filesystem but a 48MB -swap partition), you can move the start of the swap partition forward -and leave a "gap" between the existing root filesystem and the swap -partition.
