Hi

    I wish to install netbsd-1.4.1 on a SparcStation 1 using floppys
and  a internet connected Freebsd box. I need to know how to make a boot
disk I have tried dd'ing boot-141.fs onto a floppy  but that fails with
"Bad magic number in disk label" etc. I have looked every where on the
web for instructions on making a boot floppy. I have seen on the mailing
list a similiar post answered with  "see src/distrib/sparc " . But what
and where is src/distrib/sparc ? I would prefer not to download the
entire source tarball !!

Thanks

Dave
