How I "tried" to Install NetBSD 5.0.1

Well, here is a quicky intro to how I tried to get this project going:

1. Downloaded the latest .iso from http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/5.0.1/

2. Extracted the .iso to a directory on my hard drive.

3. Next I had to setup a .hdf for the netbsd installation. Used basic IDE0 RDB, then boot into WB 3.1 and use HDTools partition into the three primary partitions as stated in the installation guide from the .iso.

4. Ran xstreamtodev to move the miniroot.fs file to the "swap" partition on the netbsd.hdf as instructed.

5. Exit emulation, remove the standard WB 3.1 hdf. Reboot.

6. Emulation starts in the NetBSD installation.

Hmm. It will not let me attach the netbsd.rar file. It's only 2.14meg, but says it's too big.... will have to find somewhere to put it so you can download this file.

(P.S. Going to download some older versions and see if I can get any further in the installation.)

Laters,
Shortwind
