NetBSD 5.1

[AnnaWu]

If someone is interested, I can upload the NetBSD 5.1 CD-ROM image (432MB, compressed 108MB) + the 2 Floppy Disk images (Installer).
I installed the NetBSD by using the XM6i emulator.
The Hard Disk image (SCSI Fixed Disk) has a size of 1GB, compressed  186MB, I can upload it too.

 Hi Anna !

 That would be very nice. Feel free to upload anything that is X68000 related because every little bit helps the great cause

Keep the scene alive !

Awesome. I'd also really like to have the 030 roms that xm6i requires, I can't seem to get their instructions to work.

Oki, I´ll upload the the NetBSD 5.1 stuff.

Just some short infos by using XM6(i):

NetBSD51_TAR CD-ROM image (.iso)

The different to the standard NetBSD CD image is,
the content is compressed with the TAR file format only.
So the installation should be faster.
In the standard version the TAR files are additional compressed with TGZ.


NetBSD Installer Images (.dim)

Create two 2HC format floppies (must be .dim) with XM6.
Run XM6i, boot Human68k with the mounted CD-ROM image.
On the CD-ROM,  go into the x68k\installation\floppy folder
Insert first floppy in drive 1, ..\misc\rawrite.x
to write sysinst1.fs on disk, drive is B
Then put the second floppy into drive 1 and run rawrite again, but now by using sysinst2.fs
Rawrite is the equivalent of the Unix/BSD dd command, it write the disk image file to the disk.

Hard disk image (.hds)

Create Hard disk (SCSI) image
Start the XM6 Emulator.
Tools > Make a new SCSI Fixed Disk
Example: 750MB

The Harddisk (SCSI) image must be initialized and formatted under Human68k as single
Partition.

Start the XM6i Emulator.
Boot the Floppy Disk images (NetBSD51_Installer1.dim, NetBSD51_Installer2.dim)
Open NetBSD51_TAR.iso
Select the option "Install NetBSD to hard disk"
Yes
Minimal Installation
Set sizes of NetBSD partitions
Accept partition sizes
Partitions sizes ok
Please enter a Name for your NetBSD Disk
Yes
Run disklabel
Run newfs
Run installboot

Utility menu
a: run /bin/sh

# mount -o async /dev/sd0a /targetroot
# cd /targetroot
# mount /dev/cd0a /mnt2
# tar xpf /mnt2/x68k/binary/sets/kern_generic.tar
or
# tar xpf /mnt2/x68k/binary/sets/kern*.tar
# tar xpf /mnt2/x68k/binary/sets/etc.tar
# tar xpf /mnt2/x68k/binary/sets/base.tar

 cp /usr/mdec/boot /targetroot
 
# cd /targetroot/dev
# sh MAKEDEV all
# cd /
# umount /targetroot
# reboot

Edit rc.conf

# /sbin/mount -u -w /
# cd /
# cd etc

Awesome. I'd also really like to have the 030 roms that xm6i requires, I can't seem to get their instructions to work.

We need still a real dump according to the XM6i programmer.
The  IPLROM30.DAT on the http://retropc.net/x68000/ seems not be the correct one.

Anyway, you can use it.
If you get a message during the startup, confirm it with "YES".

Uploaded.

NetBSD 5.1 Iso image
NetBSD 5.1 Floppy Disk images
XM6i emulator + ROMs + config files* (.ini, .xmx)
Hard disk image with installed NetBSD 5.1

* You have to change the paths (.xmx and .ini files) because they are matched for my PC (WinXP Pro) and its folders.
The .xmx is the setting file for the XM6i.
The .ini is the setting file (path/name) for the .xmx
Look for the xm6i.ini file in your My Documents folder, may Vista/Win7/8 have a analogical but under a different name.
Replace the xm6i.ini with my file.

fantastic. thanks so much. now I can finally work on my 030 human stuff

[edit]
oh and my problem was getting an 030rom.dat that it didn't barf on. thanks for that
probably some 030 user on here that might be willing to dump the proper IPL, that'd be amazing.
