2 Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!
4 This environment is designed to do only three things:
5 1: Partition your disk (use the command: edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
6 2: Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition (/dev/rsd0b)
7 3: Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
9 Note that the sun3 firmware cannot boot from a partition located
10 more than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk, so the swap partition
11 should be completely below the 1 GB boundary.
13 Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
14 the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
15 boot tape, NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
17 The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
18 mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
19 mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
20 dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
21 (For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
23 To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
24 then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
