After having trouble with tryibng to do a croos-platform disklabel, I
decided to go the diskless boot route. Which is all good, except for
(another) lack of documentation. It points out that when creating a root
FS for the diskless workstation, if the root FS is coming from a binary
distribution, that I need to populate /dev. Ok, this makes sense. But how
do I populate /dev w/o having a booted decstation 3100? Any ideas? Could
somebody send me a tarred /dev from a decstation 3100 running 1.2?
thanks
rob
