There are new installation notes for NetBSD/pmax, which do not require
miniroot and these boot files any more. Detailed instructions are in the
file pmax/INSTALL, relative to the NetBSD-1.3 directory on any NetBSD
site. With 1.3-RELEASE a diskimage is provided, which is bootable if
simply written with dd to the beginning of the disk (boot N/rzX/netbsd,
where N is the right Turbochannel card number for the 5000/240, and X is
the SCSI ID of your disk).
You can run a installation program as soon as the diskimage is booted.
There are still some problems with 1.3, workarounds are needed to
get X running (a prob with xfs (fontserver) job control), and there are
troubles with shared libs. Maybe that all is solved in 1.3.1.)
Hope this helps.

To the others: When will 1.3.1 be released for pmax? Want to know if I
should workaround the probs with 1.3 or better update to 1.3.1.

Greetings,
Reinhold Huber
