I have an SS1 with 32 megs, CG3, 850MB disk, and no floppy.
I would like to do a network install on this box of 1.4.2.
I've done network installs on Sun3 systems, and as I remember
there is a netbsd-rd that allows partitioning of the drive before
installing the miniroot. What am I looking for in the sparc 142
distribution that I will need to load from the netboot prompt?
I'm more than willing to do some testing today.
Thanks.
