Hello, I'm trying to install the amd-64 port onto my ageing Thinkpad X61, which has no cdrom/dvd slot.
I was wondering if I could reuse of my usb flash drives with Sysrescd on it, without sacrificing a new one. I've downloaded both the .iso and the usb image and I can launch them fine using syslinux and memdisk: LABEL netbsd MENU LABEL 8) Netbsd install LINUX memdisk INITRD /netbsd/NetBSD-6.1.2-amd64.iso APPEND iso raw TEXT HELP Boot into Netbsd iso installer ENDTEXT or in the case of the usb image: LABEL netbsd MENU LABEL 8) Netbsd install LINUX memdisk INITRD /netbsd/NetBSD-6.1.2-amd64-install.img APPEND harddisk raw TEXT HELP Boot into Netbsd usb installer ENDTEXT In both cases, if is use the ACPI option the installer hangs trying to find a boot and root device. If I select the second or third option (no ACPI) the installer hangs even before reaching that stage. Has anybody got a clue of how to give the right parameters? A second option would be creating a second partition on the USB drive and 'dd' the image over there, but in this case how would I boot the second partition? Thanks for your input. -- Ottavio
