sun3 and TME notes. to avoid having to install, you can fake up a pre-install image by extracting sets and anything else you want into the subdir (including doing stuff like run MAKEDEV or edit rc.conf -- what ever you'd do after a normal by-hand install.) also make sure there is a /netbsd, and that you copy usr/mdec/ufsboot into the root directory. then you run these commands to make a bootable disk: # makefs -B be -s 600m ./my-sun3-disk.img subdir # installboot -m sun3 ./my-sun3-disk.img subdir/usr/mdec/bootxx /ufsboot then as a final set you need to install a label on the disk. this is a little annoying as you need to generate the values by hand. however, byte count works so just ls -l and use that number you need to run something like this: # cat > sunlabel.cmds.600mb.disk V rpm 7200 V ncyl 1228800 V nsect 32 V nhead 16 a 0 629145600 c 0 629145600 W ^D # sunlabel -n ./my-sun3-disk.img < sunlabel.cmds.600mb.disk note that 1228800 * 32 * 16 = 629145600.
