Hey all,
I'm in the process of trying to install NetBSD 3.1 on my MobilePro 880, =
and am running into difficulty once I get to the point where the =
installer wants to know where to find the rest of the installation files =
(specifically the contents of /hpcmips/binary/sets/). =20
FTP, HTTP and NFS don't work for me, since I don't have a wired NIC for =
this device, and can't find anywhere to input SSID or WEP key for WiFi.
Local drive isn't working either, since that's looking on the FFS =
partition of the CF card, which I can't write the files to (I don't =
currently have a running NetBSD or Linux box, and all the FFS solutions =
I've found for Windows are read-only). I've set it up so the CF card =
has a 94 MB FAT16 partition, and left the binary files there, figuring I =
could use the "Unmounted fs" option to install, but I have no idea what =
the correct settings for this option are.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this running?
Thanks in advance,
--Jason
