Well, mainly because I had a NetBSD system running already and I didn't want to risk doing an install again - it is always hairy when you have multiple disks on a machine and you are not sure which is which.

ath0: cannot map register space
I have an old laptop where I am trying out NetBSD 7.0 i386. Get the following information about the wifi device: #dmesg | grep ath0 ath0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: Atheros 5424/2424 ath0: cannot map register space Interface ath0 is not created due to above error. Following PRs sound relevant: http://gnats.netbsd.org/34045 http://gnats.netbsd.org/38734 But these look old and the patches mentioned do not seem to match 7.0's code. Would appreciate help in this matter. Mayuresh.

I was about to follow Brett's instructions to overcome above error, but it went away on its own. Perhaps something on the disk (stick) changed in my last installation attempt, making it smooth in second attempt. Just a guess. Mayuresh.

Unfortunately, you'll probably need to build one yourself.
Fortunately, as long as you have a build host, it should be pretty
easy. With the source checked out, just:
% ./build.sh -m i386 -U tools release live-image
You'll end up with NetBSD-${version}-${arch}-live-{sd0,wd0}root.img.gz
files in the releasedir/images directory. Uncompressed, the sd0
image will work on USB drives, and the wd0 image will work on SATA
drives. Note that I haven't done this as a cross-build, but I
believe it should work.
Good luck...

How to install NetBSD on a USB stick
I wish to install NetBSD 7.0 i386 on a laptop on a USB stick. This is for testing purpose, not for day to day use. I know I can boot from an installation image from a USB stick. However I want to carry out the installation on a USB stick. The installation procedure that works with a hard disk did not work. I am not sure whether setting up geometry etc. needs to be done differently if the target drive is a USB stick. I notice a memstick image for 5.1, but not for 7.0. http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1/memstick/ Also notice a couple of more URLs talking about this, but nothing found in NetBSD documentation or mailing list: http://implementality.blogspot.in/2012/09/netbsd-on-stick.html http://www.jibbed.org/ Would appreciate inputs in this regard. Mayuresh.
