. When installing NetBSD for your .Nx \*V system, you have to decide where you want your root partition and how you'll be downloading your kernel. Since the .Tn IBM ROM rather limits your boot options, you won't be able to have the machine boot independently. Once you load the kernel, however, you may have the root filesystem on a local disk or you can configure a diskless setup.

p In either case, you'll need to set up to boot the kernel over the network or over a serial line. . .Ss2 Booting over a serial line . This is not currently documented or supported. If you would like to attempt this and supply documentation, please do!
