Hello all,
I'm still trying to install NetBSD on my 2100 decstation. I can now write and
read a netbsd disklabel from ultrix. I have dd'ed the miniroot onto the
disk with the command:
dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rrz2c seek=16
but when i try to boot i get (after a 'setenv bootpath rz(0,2,0)netbsd'):
>> boot
Boot: rz(0,2,0)netbsd
open(rz(0,2,0)netbsd) failed: 21
can't boot 'rz(0,2,0)netbsd'
Any idea ? Do i really have to install NetBSD/Sparc to be able to boot
NetBSD/pmax ?
Here is some info:
miniroot bootrz and rzboot comes from the 1.1 distribution.
