I've been reading various posts on how to install on this machine, and I think I understand how to format the disk but I need help otherwise. Can I install using sysinst? I made 2 floppies from this directory: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/prep/installation/floppy/ One was sysinst.fs, the other generic.fs After I hit F2 during boot to change the boot sequence to floppy, I tried booting sysinst.fs. The floppy drive read the disk for a while but then the machine asked for the SMS disk so I assume that failed. I booted the generic.fs disk, and it looks like this is just a kernel. Can I use sysinst to install on this? I suppose I can set up the disk and install by hand, but I'm just making sure I don't have to do that yet. Also, are there instructions on how to boot from the built in network adapter via netboot? Is it just a standard bootp thing? So my questions were (in short form): 1. Does sysinst.fs work? 2. How can I netboot? :) Thanks. Andy
