Hi guys,

I'm trying installing netbsd/sparc64(the current snapshots) on Ultra1,
 but I can't. Could you tell me how to install it ?

My way to install is as follows. I can't find out why it can't
recognize /sbin/init.

	1. placing netbsd.32 and ofwboot.32 under / as netbsd and 
	   ofwboot.

		#  ls /netbsd /ofwboot
		/netbsd   /ofwboot

	2. inactivating swap and copying miniroot into it

		# swap -d /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1
		/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 was dump device --
		invoking dumpadm(1M) -d swap to select new dump device
		dumpadm: no swap devices are available
		# dd if=miniroot-14P.fs of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 bs=8192
		768+0 records in
		768+0 records out

	3. extracting binaries from the archive file and put them
	   under another partition(say /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3)

		# ls
		bin              mnt              sbin             usr.lib.tar
		bin.tar          netbsd           sbin.tar         usr.libexec.tar
		dev              netbsd.32        sys              usr.misc.tar
		dev.tar          netbsd.64        tmp              usr.sbin.tar
		etc              ofwboot          usr              usr.share.tar
		etc.tar          ofwboot.32       usr.bin.tar      var
		lost+found       ofwboot.net      usr.games.tar    var.tar
		miniroot-14P.fs  root             usr.include.tar

	4. rebooting 

		# reboot -- 'ofwboot -as'

	5. typing /ofwboot and /netbsd while booting

		Rebooting with command: boot ofwboot -as                              
		Boot device: /sbus/espdma@e,8400000/esp@e,8800000/sd@0,0  File and args: ofwboot -as
		Enter filename [ofwboot]:  /ofwboot

	6. typing "go" in the OBP prompt

		You said /netbsd
		parseargs says you said /netbsd
		devopen: you want /netbsd
		filename: OF_finddevice(/netbsd) sez ffffffff
		filename: found /netbsd

		Type  'go' to resume
		ok go
		   ~~
	7. typing sd0d as a root device(/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s03)

		/sbin/init is in /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3.
		How come can't it find it out ?

Thank you in advance.
