Hello List Members,
I booted diskimage (boot 5/rz3/netbsd n) and pointed the kernel to
devices to use for root (rz3b) and dump (none). I set TERM to "pmax".
OK, the install direction says to "mount /dev/rzXY". My diskimage
is in /dev/rz3b; so I typed "mount /dev/rz3b" (CR). The result:
"fstab: /etc/fstab: no such file or directory"
"fstab: /etc/fstab: no such file or directory"
"mount: /dev/rz3b: unknown special file or file system"
I tried the above with "/dev/rz3a" where my "netbsd" file is located
and got same three line except for "/dev/rz3a" instead of "/dev/rz3b".
I found /etc/fstab.rz instead of /etc/fstab and it seems the
"root_device" is mounted read-only.
I ran "sysinst" and after changing partitions and exiting, I got
thrown out to the prompt where I started with the message:
Could not open /etc/disktab
sysinst terminated.
How can I get over this to continue the installation?
Thank you.
Marcel
