All netwinders have at least one onboard ethernet, and very few of them have SCSI. So, the overwhelming majority of netwinder installs are tftp-booted with packages retrieved from the network. Console can be either serial or VGA/PS2; the firmware supports both. Making a netwinder tftp image is easy, just a case of "cat Image ramdisk.gz > tftpboot.img". CATS also falls under the "netwinder" subarch and uses the same kernels. The drill for installing on these is much the same as well. Making a CATS bootable image is done with the catsboot program, which sticks the kernel and ramdisk together with a bit of glue code. CATS do often have CD drives, so building CD images would be a worthwhile thing to do. p.
