Release notes: 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. 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.
