Hey, I got NetBSD 1.3.2 running on my 340 last night, but I've got
a problem that can take two possible solutions (fixing it, and working
around it).
The problem is that, though I offset partition a by one, it won't
let me disklabel the disk to boot, complaining that a and c overlap:
fuct# ./installboot inst.lif /dev/rsd0c
disklabel: boot overlaps used partition a
disklabel: cannot install boot program
(if that syntax is incorrect, it also did it when it was trying to
install)
The two acceptable workarounds here are:
a) getting that to work
b) getting the SYS_UBOOT I get from rbootd to boot sd2a:netbsd
OBTW, if you didn't notice, this is a SCSI disk, and I have no
HP-IB disks. The install works fine (though it reminded me of the 1.0
install for PC), it's just a hassle to boot.
I noticed that in this install, it does mount the critical
filesystems *before* the network configuration, which was a complaint I
had about the i386 port. In fact, I diff'd my modified rc and netstart I
got from my laptop, and there were no differences from the hp300 port, so
it worked much nicer out of the box. However, there is still no
/etc/dhclient.conf. I was able to bring it up with the following config:
----------- begin /etc/dhclient.conf --------------
script "/etc/dhclient-script";
----------- end /etc/dhclient.conf --------------
Is there a reason there's no default config? (I know, this is
more a general question, but it was closer to working on this port than
i386).
