10.1 on Jornada 680 - can I help?
[resending as plain text because I'm new here and just learned the
server prefers that]
Hi all!
I'm here to report a successful install of NetBSD 10.1 on a Jornada
680 and ask if there are any small ways I can help improve this port
for future users.
Installation was not flawless:
- INSTALL.TXT isn't very well tailored for the specific port and
mentions things like having a 1.44 MB floppy drive, which the HP
palmtops do not.
- installation/netbsd.gz would not boot on my machine
- installation/hpcboot-sh3.exe would boot
binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz but when doing so tried mounting the
CF card as root even when I told it (the correct way?) to use the
miniroot.fs installation ram disk instead.
I ended up just partitioning my CF card using a PC running NetBSD,
unpacking the binary sets onto it, and running sysinst only for user
and service configuration on first boot.
X works without any need to edit config files, and I've been able to
install some extra light-weight programs from pkgsrc.
Since this is a port with fairly few users where testing and polishing
doesn't always happen, I'm wondering if there's any way I can help.
Thanks,
Timothy
