Hi,
I recently received a 'new' 540c and am playing around with getting
NetBSD on it. And I have 2 questions.
1) Since the 320 meg drive is too small for both, I grabbed a 810Meg
spare drive I have from a Sparc Book and plugged it in. I created a 200 Meg
Mac partition and copied everything over from the old disk (via a SyQuest).
However, the drive just won't boot without the SyQuest drive connected. It will
boot from that disk, but only when the SyQuest is connected too.
I used both Apple's hard disk utility (patched) and Sliverlining 5.8.2.
Could this be a termination problem?
2) From what I gleam from the web pages. 1.3.3 probably won't do anything
more than single user mode. But -current would probably work better.
So could I load 1.3.3 on the disk, and then put -current's kernel on it
and boot? Then build -current? I ask because I can't seem to find pre-built
current packages.
And if that's possible, where can I get a kernel?
Thanks,
Paul.
