I am following your "Installing NetBSD on a PMAX" at
(http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax/pmax-install.html).
1. ftp://Gregorio.stanford.edu/pub/NetBSD/pmax does not exist.
I found ftp://Gregorio.stanford.edu/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax
instead and it contains nothing in the snapshot directory;
but snapshot.old contains the following files.
CKSUMS 214 bytes Mon Aug 19 00:00:00 1996
SUMS 157 bytes Mon Aug 19 00:00:00 1996
bootrz 7 Kb Tue Mar 7 00:00:00 1995
miniroot-1.2.gz 2612 Kb Tue Sep 17 00:00:00 1996
rzboot 512 bytes Tue Mar 7 00:00:00 1995
Where can find a more current set of snapshots?
2. Looking at files contained in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/tools/disklabel.tar.gz
and going through the README, I was not able to understand the
sample prototype file included; particularly the layout of the
file. Are all the blank spaces inserted with "spacebar" or are
some of them "Tab spaces"? Does it really matter?
3. Can you install a label without a prototype file as spacified in
the README file.
4. Finally, I cannot find disklabel, bootrz and rzboot files at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/. Where can I find them or are
they no longer needed?
