.\" ---------- MD instructions on setting up boot media
|
|
.
|
|
First-time installation on a bare machine is not supported, because most
|
|
DECstations do not have any suitable load device.
|
|
Some versions of the DECstation PROM are buggy and will not boot via
|
|
.Tn TFTP
|
|
and bootp; other versions are buggy and do not boot via
|
|
.Tn MOP .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The only DECstation with a floppy-disk drive is the Personal DECstation,
|
|
and that device is not supported as a boot device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The recommended installation procedure is to boot an install kernel
|
|
via
|
|
.Tn TFTP ,
|
|
or to use a
|
|
.Dq helper
|
|
system to write a miniroot diskimage onto a disk, move that
|
|
disk to the target installation system, and then boot the miniroot.
