      2  1.1  lukem 	Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!
      3  1.1  lukem 
      4  1.1  lukem This environment is designed to do only three things:
      5  1.1  lukem 1:  Partition your disk (use the command:  edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
      6  1.1  lukem 2:  Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition  (/dev/rsd0b)
      7  1.1  lukem 3:  Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).
      8  1.1  lukem 
      9  1.1  lukem Note that the sun3 firmware cannot boot from a partition located
     10  1.1  lukem more than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk, so the swap partition
     11  1.1  lukem should be completely below the 1 GB boundary.
     12  1.1  lukem 
     13  1.1  lukem Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
     14  1.1  lukem the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
     15  1.1  lukem     boot tape,  NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server
     16  1.1  lukem 
     17  1.1  lukem The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
     18  1.1  lukem 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
     19  1.1  lukem 	mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
     20  1.1  lukem 	dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
     21  1.1  lukem (For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)
     22  1.1  lukem 
     23  1.1  lukem To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
     24  1.1  lukem then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
     25  1.1  lukem 	b sd(,,1) -s
     26  1.1  lukem 
     27  1.1  lukem To view this message again, type:  cat /.welcome
