      2 	Welcome to the NetBSD/sun2 RAMDISK root!
      3 
      4 This environment is designed to do only three things:
      5 1:  Partition your disk (use the command:  edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
      6 2:  Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition  (/dev/rsd0b)
      7 3:  Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
      8 
      9 Note that the sun2 firmware cannot boot from a partition located
     10 more than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk, so the swap partition
     11 should be completely below the 1 GB boundary.
     12 
     13 Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
     14 the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
     15     boot tape,  NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
     16 
     17 The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
     18 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
     19 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
     20 	dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
     21 (For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
     22 
     23 To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
     24 then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
     25 	b sd(,,1) -s
     26
