My G3 running OF 2.0f1 simply won't read ofwboot or netbsd for the ide bus
HD or CD. I've tried every patch to the nvram and all I every get is 'Can't
Open ...'. So I've given up on that approach. I can however boot from the
floppy drive. Once booted from that I can run the sysinst and get NetBSD
copied to my HD. So what I want to do is create a new boot.fs disk that
will load the kernel and mount my HD as / and /usr and proceed from there.
Problem is, I can't find any documentation on the website on how to create
the boot.fs file (which is a DiskCopy file). Nothing in the /usr/sys tree
either. Please help.
Thanks,
Jeff
