Hi all
I am trying to reinstall 1.5 on a SS5 box. There are two internal disks
(/dev/sd{0,1}) and one external disk (/dev/sd2). My root and swap are on
/dev/sd1{a,b}. I dd the downloaded miniroot.fs to /dev/sd1b in single user
mode, but I cant boot it to get into the installation script. I use "boot
disk1:b netbsd -s" in prom, but it says there is no such file.
Is this the right prom command? Or, is there another way to start the
installation script? Thanks.
Regards
Ruibiao
