Hi, I have a PCI card with two SATA ports on Sun Ultra 10, so I can use modern SATA discs for / file system. I simply specify the following kernel config: config netbsd root on wd0a type ? Unfortunately OpenBoot cannot boot from the SATA card, so I either have to use built-in IDE controller or the PCI SCSI card. Over the years all of the IDE and SCSI discs that I hoarded have gradually failed and nobody manufactures new ones any more. Below is my boot partition: ultra10# grep boot /etc/fstab /dev/sd0a /boot ffs noauto,rw,log 0 0 ultra10# mount /boot ultra10# ls -l /boot total 26208 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13287360 Mar 15 16:00 netbsd -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 113904 Mar 15 09:51 ofwboot How can I replicate this on CD-RW disc, so that I can boot from it? Is it as simple as creating a bootable iso9660? I found these instructions https://www.netbsd.org/docs/bootcd.html#sparc64image which I'm going to try in the next few days. But if anyone thinks that's not the right way to go, then please let me know. Thanks.
