It looks like pxeboot doesn't support that.
So I tried a normal "boot" but that rebooted immediately.
So I used pxeboot to load a kernel. And that went into debugger since no
filesystem to mount.
So I tried "boot -a" and that failed.
Another reboot... (only about 30 times now :)
I did "boot netbsd -a" and that prompted me for the root filesystem.
I entered "wd0a". And that failed too:
file system (default generic): **I pressed enter**
boot device: wd0
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
root file system type: ext2fs
warning: lookup /dev/console: error 20
exec /sbin/init: error 20
exec /sbin/oinit: error 20
exec /sbin/init.bak: error 20
init path:
I have no idea where this "ext2fs" came from. I see other postings with
similar issues.
So I rebooted again.
And chose "ffs" as my filesystem type.
That failed with:
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
cannot mount root, error = 22
root device (default wd0a):
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my laptop to boot using the
NetBSD installed at wd0a?
