Sun3x machines usually need little or no preparation before installing
|
|
NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of BACKING UP
|
|
ALL DATA on any attached storage devices.
|
|
|
|
You will need to know the SCSI target ID of the drive on which you
|
|
will install NetBSD. Note that SunOS/sun3x uses confusing names for
|
|
the SCSI devcies: target 1 is sd2, target 2 is sd4, etc.
|
|
|
|
It might be a good time to run the diagnostics on your Sun3x.
|
|
The diagnostic switch forces all diagnostic information to be printed
|
|
to the ttya serial port, so it is a good idea to first attach a terminal
|
|
to it before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
for 3/460/470/480 machines
|
|
|
|
Set the "Diag/Norm" switch to the Diagnostic position and power on the
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
for 3/80 machines
|
|
|
|
Power on the unit and enter the command 'q 70b 12' and reboot.
|
|
When you wish to return to normal boot mode, use 'q 70b 6'.
|
|
|
|
The Sun3x ROM monitor can be configured to use any number of different
|
|
devices as the system console. NetBSD will use these settings as
|
|
well, so it is important to insure that they are correct. The
|
|
device used can be changed by editing the contents of the EEPROM
|
|
variable located at address 0x1F. To do so, use the command
|
|
"q 1f". You will be prompted for a new value, which you can pick from
|
|
below, or you can keep the current one by entering a period or blank
|
|
line.
