Greetings NetBSD users:
Does anyone know how to create a bootable floppy disk (1.44 MB) so that
it can boot a kernel from the floppy disk, and mount all of the file-
systems (including root) from the hard drive. In addition I wish to
have it so that doing the boot, NetBSD executes the netstart, rc,
rc.local, etc. from the mounted hard disk root partition, and not from
the floppy.
I know how to create a bootable floppy and have it load a kernel
off of it. I can even load a file-system from another floppy, but not
from the hard disk.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Alicia.
