Hi all!

I installed NetBSD 1.0b on a 486DX33.
I discovered some problems during the installation process.
First of all .. would it be possible to copy the whole
installation floppy to a memory filesystem so to have the
floppy drive free for the other installation disks?

Second ... there is a part missing in the installation instruction ...
if you downloaded and extracted all the files you NEED to go
to /mnt/dev/ and do a sh MAKEDEV all ... otherwise you won't be
able to boot from HD (at least that is what I discovered).

I even managed to install from one single floppy drive by copying
the whole floppy to HD and then overwrite those things with the
Extract command .. I know ... thats not nice .. but it did work.

Just my 0.02 ;)
- Peter
