Hi,

I am trying to install NetBSD on a Powerbook G3 with bronze keyboard
(Lombard). This has no internal floppy, and the USB floppy drive is
not bootable, and there aren't any bootable CDROM images, so I have
followed the instructions in the Diskless HOWTO to do a diskless
install.

I was now hoping to be able to install to the disk via FTP using
sysinst, but it doesn't seem too be installed with the base sets, and
I haven't been able to find a binary on the FTP site. I guess I could
extract sysint from the floppy image, but don't know what type of
filesystem that uses (nor even whether I have a machine which can
mount it).

Please help!


PS: the kernel goes into reverse video halfway through the boot, after
which the screen becomes pretty much unreadable on the powerbook. Is
it possible to disable that?
