      1  1.1  scw 	Welcome to the NetBSD/mvme68k RAMDISK root!
      2  1.1  scw 
      3  1.1  scw This environment is designed to do only four things:
      4  1.1  scw  1:  Partititon your disk (use the command:  edlabel /dev/rsd?c)
      5  1.1  scw  2:  Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition  (/dev/rsd?b)
      6  1.1  scw  3:  Make that partition bootable (using 'installboot')
      7  1.1  scw  4:  Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
      8  1.1  scw 
      9  1.1  scw Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing the source of the
     10  1.1  scw miniroot image to be on any of these:
     11  1.1  scw     boot tape,  NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
     12  1.1  scw 
     13  1.1  scw The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
     14  1.1  scw 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
     15  1.1  scw 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 3
     16  1.1  scw 	dd bs=8k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
     17  1.1  scw (For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
     18  1.1  scw 
     19  1.1  scw After installing the boot block, reboot using the swap partition. That is,
     20  1.1  scw use "halt" then at the Bug monitor prompt use a command like:
     21  1.1  scw 	bo 0,,b:
     22  1.1  scw 
     23  1.1  scw To view this message again, type:  cat /.welcome
