Hi!
I tried to boot a 2100 with NetBSD diskimage 32M-diskimage.gz from directory
/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax on ftp.netbsd.org, date June 15.
I dd'ed the unzipped image onto rz1 and rz2 (yes, I need two) using:
dd if=/mnt/fssrv/netbsd/32M-diskimage of=/dev/rz<1|2>
using the fragments of Ultrix which are on rz0.
which worked (20xxx blocks in, 20xxx blocks out).
When I try to boot with the console command
boot -f rz(0,1,0)netbsd
it tells me:
Boot: rz(0,1,0)netbsd
rz(0,1,0)netbsd: Bad magic 6ddbb66d
Can't boot 'rz(0,1,0)netbsd'
KN01 V7.0
<ethernet-address ...>
>>
If I try rz2 instead, it tells me a different 'magic': c0d50200
Is there something wrong with the filesystems or some bits of the kernel,
is there another image somewhere that I could try?
(the file /pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/network-install/diskimage.tar.gz is a
tarball of a root fs and not dd'able on discs)
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings,
Reinhold Huber
