So, correct sequences to make bootable disk; cat miniroot >/dev/rrz1c disklabel -R -r -B -b rzboot -s bootrz rz1 TARGET_LABEL dd(1) is much slower than cat(1). The first 8KB record resides both in release 1.1 miniroot and and 1.2 BETA miniroot. "Installation Guide" on http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax-install.html doesn't describe correct boot disk build process. Unfortunately 1.2 kernel won't work on our DS5000/25 configurartion, probably due to ever-going config.new reconstruction. So, after "thrilling installation puzzles", I managed to setup DS5000 with 1.1 kernel and 1.2 BETA snapshot binaries conbination. Now, it's time to create new kernel. Oh, there is no config(8) executable. I have to start to build it. What's an enjoying! Tohru NISHIMURA
