$NetBSD: xfer,v 1.3 1998/01/09 18:47:08 perry Exp $ 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. The source for a program called download is part of this distribution. Download sends data to the ROM monitor over the serial line. 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.)
