In a follow-up to my previous post, I am happy to say I didn't have
too much difficulty during installation.  The rz25 size problem
was a stumbling block, but it worked out okay in the end.

A comment I do have, is that the diskimage.tar.gz distribution could
be trimmed down considerably.  Also, it doesn't contain any boot
blocks.  But it works.

Jonathan and Tohru have commented previously on their enthusiasm
for an installation script.  Apparantly, the reason OpenBSD is
*far superior* to NetBSD is its installation script.

When I installed NetBSD on a sun 3 machine, I used a simple
little installation script.  Do many of the other ports have
similar scripts?

Has anyone started on an installation script for pmax?  I am
willing to work on it over the weekend.  No hardware to hassle
me.

Any recommendations?

Regards,
Greg
