Re: Upgrading a 90s laptop from 5.1 to 10 -- no FD or CDROM



Hi I would say to take to hard drive out and use some other computer to install NetBSD 10 on it or use qemu. to use qemu install the drive in a linux machine with the linux boot drive and run "qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium -m 64 -cdrom NetBSD-10.0rc1-i386.iso -hda /dev/oldlaptopsdisk" where NetBSD-10.0rc1-i386.iso is the netbsd install iso and "/dev/oldlaptopsdisk" is the device to the old laptops drive xuser%sdf.org@localhost

The days are short and work has slowed down. 'Tis the season to get the
old hardware out!

I have a '98 Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop running a 2010 build of NetBSD
5.1. It runs great including X11. No tmux though :(

So how do I get NetBSD 10 on this? There are some challenges.

I have a pcmcia 3Com NIC and so internet access (IPv6 only!). But the FD
adapter and the CDROM bay both died years ago.

I can plug in a pcmcia CF card and mount it. The old BIOS can't boot from
that though. There's also a single USB revision 1.0 port.

Take the old HD out and try to put a boot image on it?

Below is dmesg.

Thanks - Joel
