4 Booting
|

|

Now that your device is ready for the installation you need to
|
||||
unpack the bootloader archive (bootloader.arc, if you're installing
|

from CD-ROM then this should be unpacked already), copy it to your
|

hard disk and run the bootloader (!BtRiscBSD).

installing from CD-ROM then this should be unpacked already), copy the

directory to your harddisc. In the archive you'll find the tools

4.1 Configuring the !BtNetBSD bootloader before installation
|
||||
|

4.2 Running !BtRiscBSD
|
||||
Open the !BtNetBSD application and edit the `fastboot' file to specify
|
||||
the installation kernel location; an example is allready given.
|
||||
|
||||
Double click on the !BtRiscBSD icon and then on the iconbar icon to
|
||||
open the Configuration window.
|
||||
|
||||
Drag the kernel for your platform to the kernel name box and hit boot.
|
||||
You can also set other details like tweaking with the amount of memory in
|
||||
the WimpSlot of the bootloader when this is too much. Remember however that
|
||||
this shouldn't be set too low for it can crash the bootloader.

4.3 Configuring !BtRiscBSD after installation
|
||||

|
||||
instructed....
|
||||
|
||||
Run !BtRiscBSD as before and bring up the configuration window.
|
||||
|
||||

|

the boot fails use a copy of the installed kernel (/netbsd) from

RiscOS.

||||
4.3 Configuring !BtNetBSD after installation
|
||||
|
||||
Set "Root device", "swap device" to the partitions you used for the
|
||||
installation.
|
||||
Open the !BtNetBSD application again and edit the `fastboot' file again
|
||||
to fill in the normal kernel name.
|
||||
|
||||
Set multi user mode.
|
||||
Specify the device NetBSD should be looking for its kernel in. This is
|
||||
the `Run <BtNetBSD$Dir>.native.mountufs ADFS 4' line that is there
|
||||
by default. See this document for other names.
