How hard is it to install NetBSD over SunOS 4.1.3? I have installed NetBSD
on one Sparc a long time ago, and at that time I had to use the SunOS
disklabel command and some other magic to get things going. Is this still
necessary?
I'd like to install NetBSD 1.2.1 (for stability) on a SS1 with only one
disk, no floppy. I can have all the tarballs in the local network, however.
Simple or not? :)
can you netboot the machine? if so, it is simple... otherwise, it may
be quite non-simple but certainly doable ...
if you can netboot, read the INSTALL for details.
