I recently purchased a Sun SPARCstation 1+ (4/65, sun4c). There
is no os on it, and I was wondering if it would be possible _somehow_
to install NetBSD from floppies on it.
from floppies? coule be hard, but...
you have the boot ROMs built in, at least (I hope) so you can do
anything.
Last official instructions I read (I only played around with it a bit)
was for netbsd-1.1 and included booting from the network...
