Welcome to the NetBSD/mvme68k RAMDISK root!
|
|
|
|
This environment is designed to do only four things:
|
|
1: Partititon your disk (use the command: disklabel -i -I /dev/rsd?c)
|
|
2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd?b)
|
|
3: Make that partition bootable (using 'installboot')
|
|
4: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
|
|
|
|
Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing the source of the
|
|
miniroot image to be on any of these:
|
|
boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
|
|
|
|
The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
|
|
mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
|
|
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 3
|
|
dd bs=8k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
|
|
(For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
|
|
|
|
After installing the boot block, reboot using the swap partition. That is,
|
|
use "halt" then at the Bug monitor prompt use a command like:
