1 2 Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root! 3 4This environment is designed to do only three things: 51: Partition your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c) 62: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b) 73: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b). 8 9Note that the sun3 firmware cannot boot from a partition located 10more than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk, so the swap partition 11should be completely below the 1 GB boundary. 12 13Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing 14the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these: 15 boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server 16 17The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows: 18 mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind 19 mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2 20 dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b 21(For help with other methods, please see the install notes.) 22 23To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt", 24then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like: 25 b sd(,,1) -s 26 27To view this message again, type: cat /.welcome 28
