Hi!
I'm trying to install the pmax port to a dec3100. I got it without any
HD. Since I don't have a Ultrix system at hand I thought using a i386
NetBSD system would be the best solution labeling a new HD for the 3100.
The problem is that it don't like the bootrz file, it replies "disklabel:
Bootstrap doesn't leave room for disk label". Looking at it I discovered
it was 7680 byte large compared to 6716 byte for other bootXX files).
Therefore I wrote direct to the different partition with dd:
dd if=rzboot of=/dev/rsd1a seek=0 bs=512
dd if=bootrz of=/dev/rsd1a seek=1 bs=512
These files takes 8192 bytes = 16 sectors.
Then I wrote miniroot to the disk:
dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rsd1a seek=16 bs=512
Booting it up with "boot -f rz(0,0,0)netbsd" I got the message:
Excptn: <vtr=UTLBM>
Excptn pc: 0x0
Creg: 0x8<CE=0,EXC=RMISS>
Sreg: 0x30080000<CU1,CU0,CM,IPL=8>

" 10

" 30 same value

exit(-1)
If someone have a clue I would be very thankful!
