I have recently obtained possion of a sparcstation and want to put =
netbsd on it. I have been able to boot the netbsd kernel by puting it =
on the swap partition. Before proceeding further I tried to find the =
'sets' for a floppy install. All I could find were sets that were =
larger than 1.44 meg. Are there sets where they are split into floppy =
size chunks? I have access to Linux and can easily tar the *.tgz files =
to floppies. How does the install program expect to find the diskette =
based distributions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert Law
