Here's an initial draft, based on the messages I sent and
received around the time when I first toyed with this, as well as
the serial console log from my box.  My box is currently busy on
a long-term mission, so I could not 100% verify every step, so if
there is someone else who are in possession of a Kurobox/Pro, who
wants to install NetBSD on it, and willing to validate the
instructions, that'd be appreciated.

------------------------------

Installing NetBSD on the Kurobox/Pro
====================================

First, you need to attach a serial console port to the Kurobox/Pro.

There are some instructions on

  http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Add_a_Serial_port_to_the_ARM9_Linkstation

and they looked moderatly complicated.  As it turned out, my
Kurobox/Pro came with a 4-pin header already installed in the
right spot, on the "daughtercard" which is pulled out when you
install the disk, and I also seem to recall that the pins were in
the right order relative to the RS232-to-5V converters I had
bought.  The serial console runs at 115200 baud.

You'll of course want a 3.5" SATA hard drive mounted inside the box
to install on.

Next you'll want an install kernel with an embedded ramdisk with all
the installation tools, and with newfs_ext2fs and mount_ext2fs
included.  This was only recently added to NetBSD, you'll need the
changes in

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/01/30/msg041066.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/01/30/msg041067.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/01/30/msg041068.html
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2013/01/30/msg041069.html

If you use -current bits from sources after January 30 2013,
these should be included.  Note, you can use a -current kernel to
install a 6.0 user-land and later build and install a 6.0-era
kernel, if that's what you are aiming at.

Next, turn the box on, wait for it sending its banner on the serial
port, and interrupt its startup:

This will cause the buzzer inside the box to sound; touch the power
button briefly to make the buzzer be quiet again.

A "printenv" shows the environment variables it knows about and a
few you have to set to tftp-boot the install kernel, in particular:

ipaddr=192.168.11.150
serverip=192.168.11.1

Set these, and load the install kernel:

Marvell>> setenv serverip 192.168.1.101
Marvell>> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.178
Marvell>> tftp 0x8000 netbsd-KUROBOX_PRO_INSTALL.bin

Marvell>> g 0x8000

and NetBSD should start up, eventually starting sysinst.

Next, you'll need to prepare the harddisk.  Sysinst has not (yet?)
been taught that on the Kurobox/PRO, U-Boot can load a kernel from
an ext2fs file system.  To create it, you'll need to exit sysinst
and use fdisk and newfs_ext2fs manually.  I set aside a 31MB-sized
partition for storing bootable kernels, and ran "fdisk -u -0 wd0"
and "fdisk -u -1 wd0", and ended up with this MBR partition table:

# fdisk wd0
Disk: /dev/rwd0c
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 620181, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 625142448

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1024, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 625142448

Partition table:
0: Linux native (sysid 131)
    start 63, size 64197 (31 MB, Cyls 0-3)
        PBR is not bootable: All bytes are identical (0x00)
1: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    start 64260, size 625078188 (305214 MB, Cyls 4-38913/80/63)
        PBR is not bootable: All bytes are identical (0x00)
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
No active partition.
# 

Now restart sysinst, and start with "use existing" for the disk
label, and add any NetBSD partitions you'll need on the NetBSD
MBR partition.  Verify after installing all the sets with
sysinst, using "disklabel wd0" that you don't have overlap
between any of the other partitions and wd0e (default partition
for any "other" MBR partition, if I've understood correctly).

It's now time to prepare the boot file system, from which the
actual kernel binary is loaded by U-Boot:

# newfs_ext2fs /dev/rwd0e
# mkdir /k
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd0e /k

Now transfer a suitable netbsd-wd0.bin-KUROBOX_PRO to /k using
ftp.  The kernel image with this name corresponds to the "config
netbsd-wd0 root on wd0 type ffs" addition to the KUROBOX_PRO
kernel config.  This is so that you won't have to answer with the
location of the root file system on each and every boot-up of
NetBSD.

Next, halt NetBSD, and set up U-Boot to boot from the kernel just
copied to the ext2fs file system.  You can first verify that it
is there:
