Lines: 11 Message-ID: <48foqd$ne6@rob.inetdirect.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: demo1.inetdirect.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 32bit) I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.0 on a sparc 1 that currently has sunos 4.1.3. The INSTALL file seems vague to me on how do get it to boot. Do I have to boot off a floppy in order to mount /dev/sd1a to /mnt/ or /dev/sd1g to /mnt/usr. I obviously can't mount them booting off the drive because they're already mounted. I tried booting off of the sunos cdrom but this is no help. Is there a more descriptive FAQ available?
