Dean) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: NetBSD and a new user Date: 10 Dec 1993 15:06:11 GMT Organization: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Carnegie Mellon Lines: 19 Message-ID: <2ea393$o2m@fs7.ece.cmu.edu> References: <2e7kpm$45e@homer.cs.mcgill.ca> <2e8e2u$4rd1@hal.gnu.ai.mit.edu> <2e8uau$1vd@sparc10.entropic.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: spitz.ece.cmu.edu I just got NetBSD to work on my 386 box last night, and now I am all excited and full of questions. Of course, many of these may be covered by the NetBSD FAQ, so bear with me: 1. Is there a NetBSD-0.9 FAQ? I got my files from agate.berkeley.edu, but I did not see any FAQs. 2. I found another 80 meg IDE drive lying around and would like to add it to my system. How do I tell NetBSD to format it the way it likes harddrives and how do I connect it to my present file structure? 3. How do I read and write DOS diskettes from my NetBSD system? I used load_fd when I was installing the OS, but now that doesn't work any more. 4. What program do I use to connect my NetBSD system to a modem? Thanks for suffering through these basic questions.
