Getting started

Hello
I was planning to install NetBSD on a recently restored model 332. I have
read most of the documents that I can find on the NetBSD site relating to
this but think I need some help getting started.

The hardware I have is a model 332 (16 MHz 68030 with the matching 68882
FPU added), 8 Mb RAM, LAN card and adapter, 98550A frame buffer, boot ROM
revision D, and an HP-IB combo disc unit with a 3.5" floppy drive and a
small hard drive. Everything is working fine on this system with either the
HP Basic/WS or the HP Pascal/WS operating systems. To start with, I'm
planning to use the HPDrive utility on a PC equipped with a GPIB card to
emulate a larger hard drive with the capacity needed for NetBSD. I haven't
got that working yet but I'm also stuck on the first step of booting.

As I don't have a local server to boot from, I have downloaded SYS_UBOOT
and copied it onto an HP-formatted floppy as a type SYSTM file (I used the
the HPDir utility for that purpose). When booting the 332, it finds
SYS_UBOOT on the floppy but return an error when it starts to load it; the
error reads 'NOT ENOUGH MEMORY'.

I have read that the model 332 is not supported with NetBSD but the
impression I got was that it should work if an FPU is installed, as I have
done. Is anyone able to comment on that? Maybe there is another reason why
the 332 is not supported? Is 8 Mb sufficient to boot? Any advice would be
welcome.
