Sorry to keep sounding like such a moron here, but it does? Raymond
said in an earlier message to me:
Right - what you need is the ramdisk image (ram.root.tar, I
think) and one of the ramdisk kernels (netbsd.rd.{9600,19200}).
Simply(?) load the Ramdisk image at H'200000 and the kernel at H'2000
and execute the kernel from H'2020 (I think; it could possibly be
H'2000). (It might be a good idea to store the code somewhere on the
SCSI disk, and lie to disklabel about the real size of the disk. That
way you won't have to do a reload from the serial port if you make a
mistake the first time round.)
You mention the ram.root image yourself, but I don't see it on any of
the archive sites. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? It
seems like only half the puzzle is in place.
Thanks..
