Dear netBsd cobalt list reader,
I'm not a netBSD expert and had to restore netBSD after my cobalt didn't boot.
Thanks to the excellent restore CD, everything went smoothly and the
machine was back within 30 minutes.
I discovered now that the disk was partitioned in the sections
/
/tmp
/var
My question now if I could change the disk layout (only one patition
for BSD) before restoring. I can mount the iso image on my desktop on
a mac, and wondering if its possible to change the scripts that only
one large (+ swap) partitiion is made.
I'm also wondering if the restore cd would recognize a large hardrive
(different from 10 Gbyte) and re-size the the partition according the
size of the drive.
I appreciate all the help
Frank
