I'm trying to netboot a Sparc machine to NetBSD. I have sun3, and
i386, and no StunOS, or Slowlaris around.
Looking at: ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2.1/sparc/
I see in extras, a GENERIC kernel.
Don't I need the second stage boot? (aka netboot) Is it in
base.tar.gz somewhere?
I'd rather go the ramdisk kernel, and NFS mount (prefer to SSH/dd
though) the a machine to get the miniroot and it that way rather than
extracting the system onto an NFS disk.
(I'm installing for a friend)
