Ok I partitioned/newfsed the disks from within Solaris and then I
mounted / and /usr and copied over all of the files from all of the
disk sets, including netbsd.GENERIC (I also copied this over to /netbsd).
I then created all of the devices in the 'std' section of MAKEDEV as
well as all of the [r]sd[0-1][a-h] devices with mknod. I also made
sure to use numeric GIDs since the numbers are different from Solaris.
I then did `installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0' and then
rebooted.
When I try to boot I get :
ok boot netbsd
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2/disk@2,0:a
NetBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock
.Bad path
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok
What does this cryptic error message mean?
It means that the bootblock was unable to locate
/ofwboot in the root filesystem. This could be
due to a number of different reasons. Make sure
you copied it there first.
