Pardon this newbie question ...
I've been trying to install NetBSD/hpcmips (only base and kernel) on an ibm
z50 with the 32MB upgrade and 64 MB cf card. However, even if I give NetBSD
the whole disk (62 MB formatted, evidently) I don't have enough space to
install. I was under the impression that a 64 MB card was enough (just
enough) to install the base and kernel. What's up?
I should add that, thus far, I've been trying to install over FTP, using my
Linux machine as the server, using the base and kernel packages from here:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA/hpcmips/binary/sets/
I guess that I need to uncompress the packages, drop something, and go from
there?
Thanks,
