A NetBSD developer friend of mine recently tried (on my advice) the latest (b46) SXCR. He was loading it on an older laptop (not sure the make/model), but he only had CD, no DVD. Its possible that this was connected via pcmcia, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, apparently CD0 booted, but then subsequently told him that it could not find the install program. I'm guessing the problem was with suninstall. But I don't know for sure. Anyone tried booting/installing b46 from CD lately? I have only used DVD media of late, because at the count of 6 CDS, its just too much a PITA (and I have DVD readers on all my systems now.) Another possible thought: it would be nice to be able to "trivially" set up netboot / PXEboot from Linux or *BSD. I know that it isn't hard, but I don't always have the recipe handy (my boot servers all run Solaris) ... maybe someone can cobble up a setup_install_server.linux or .netbsd (or make setup_install_server support Linux or *BSD). I would imagine that would be a boon to some folks. -- Garrett D'Amore, Principal Software Engineer Tadpole Computer / Computing Technologies Division, General Dynamics C4 Systems http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/ Phone: 951 325-2134 Fax: 951 325-2191
