I am planning on installing NetBSD 1.1 in a currently diskless
3/50. To do that, I bought a Conner 1.08GB SCSI drive, which I will
install in an external case, and a DB50->Centronics 50 cable. I will try
to install it from an Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive. Here are my questions:
o Will the 3/50 be happy with the Exabyte?
o I do not remember seeing much stuff in the install documentation
regarding partitioning a drive before installing NetBSD. Is it
assumed we are using the default configuration, whatever it
might be?
o The installation docs also mentioned using a terminal connected to
the Sun's serial port during the installation process. Do I *need*
that? Can't I simply use the machine's screen/keyboard?
