I think I understand everything, but there's one part I don't understand. Apparently, I can install NetBSD by first formatting and partitioning the disk that I want to install it on. Then, I can put the "mini-root" partition onto an empty disk partition, and boot the mini-root, which will then allow me to run the install script. My question is, where do I put the other NetBSD distribution files, and how do I tell the install script where they are? My access to machines for installation is limited, so I'd like to get the instructions as clear as I can before I plunge in. I couldn't find this information in the Sparc Installation instructions. Thanks in advance. -- John T. John T. Criswell criswell@uiuc.edu Argus Systems Group Intern
