I am attempting to setup a G3 OFv3.1.1 with a "Booting NetBSD =
exclusively" open firmware configuration. As the documentation =
described, I made a HFS partition of 4MB and a UFS of the remaining =
space with the Apple "Disk Utility" (later to be repartitioned with =
pdisk before the NetBSD install). I have managed to get NetBSD booted =
and installed using the ISO image from the FTP site. I am now =
attempting to get the system to boot from the hard drive using OFv3.1.1. =
The documentation example states to setup OFv3 something like this:
0 > setenv boot-device ide0/disk@0:8,\ofwboot.xcf
0 > setenv boot-file ide0/disk@0:13,/netbsd
My quesions are:
1) how do I put the ofwboot.xcf bootloader on the HFS partition I have =
created?
2) how do I know what partition number my /netbsd & \ofwboot.xcf are on?
