This machine that I'm trying to install NetBSD on, only has a floppy and
a hard drive. No CD. And no OS installed. I'm just working with
the sysinst program from the two floppies. I don't have the "man boot"
page. I was counting on the ne2000 card to install the
system over NFS or FTP. My only experience with NetBSD was
on a mac68k, so I'm a little lost here. Is there a good howto on the
site for this? or can you fill in on some of the details on how to
boot that INSTALL kernel with -d option?
Thanks,
Guy
