Dear Experienced Users,
I have difficulty installing NetBSD1.6 on my G3 350M with OF 3.1.1.:
I followed with Install.html document closely and observed OF3
peculiarity. Document says I need to use "Upgrade" or "Re-install" option.
But I had to use "Install" first then I did followings based on the
instruction:
I'm dedicating internal hard disk for NetBSD only.
0. I partitioned the drive with one 6GB chunk with HFS and
put ofwboot.xcf and netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz there,
but I use cd-rom with full set of NetBSD 1.6 official.
1. disklabel wd0
2. newfs /dev/wd0a for root & /dev/wd0g for /usr.
3. mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
mkdir /mnt/usr
mount /dev/wd0g /mnt/usr
4. Created /mnt/etc/fstab as
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0b swap none sw 0 0
/dev/wd0g /usr ffs 1 2
5. umount /mnt/usr
umount /mnt
6. Invoked sysinst by ./sysinst
selected "Upgrade" install on "wd0" from cd-rom and let it go.
Are these correct so far?
When process of 6. finished, what should I do?
Do I have to repeat above 2.~5. then reboot?
How do I create device node?
You see when I #mount /dev/wd0a /mnt, it went OK.
But #cd /mnt/dev did not go.
If I just reboot from there, I ended up with Apple icon with "?" flashing.
I can not get NetBSD window at all.
Please somebody help me. I'm totally new in this area, but I'm willing to
learn NetBSD earnestly just like you did.
Sincerely,
Yoshi
