[NetBSD] Date: 19 Sep 93 09:20:40 Organization: FCR Software Inc., Boston, MA Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <BRAD.93Sep19092040@stemwinder.FCR.COM> NNTP-Posting-Host: stemwinder.fcr.com first off, I'd like thanks everyone who worked on NetBSD 0.9. I've installed it four times now and I love it. It's real stable and has lots of little corners sanded smooth. [aside - I remember installing BSD on vaxen. it was, well, not for the faint of heart. Then we got suns. Sun-2 were, well, "difficult" ;-). Sun-3's got easier. Sun-4's boot boot out of the box! (ahh, you young folks don't know! ;-) any way, 386bsd 0.1 was about like a sun-3 - you had to read the manual. NetBSD 0.9 is a great improvement.] I'm running NetBSD 0.9 on a 2nd IDE drive. I'm using booteasy to boot from the 2nd IDE. This works great. I'd like the boot tracks to default to wd1, however (so I don't have to type "wd(1,a)/netbsd" each time). I tried once to get the boot tracks to figure this out. I'm about to try again, but I wonder if anyone else has already solved this. thanks. -brad -- Politically correct term for `corrupt': Ethically different, morally challenged Brad Parker FCR Software, Inc., Boston, Ma. brad@fcr.com
