- <p>
- <ol>
-   <li>Download a kernel. David Muse' Debian-install kernel works fine:<pre>

- </pre>
-   <li>Download a root filesystem tree:<pre>

-   <li>Create a disk image which will contain the Redhat filesystem:<pre>
-         <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=redhat_mips.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=2000000</b>
- </pre>
-   <li>This is the tricky part: on redhat_mips.img, you need to create an MS-DOS
-         (!) partition table, and then an ext2 partition. This is what Linux
-         will then see as /dev/sda1.
-         <p>I recommend you run fdisk and mke2fs and untar the archive from within
-         Debian/DECstation or <a href="#debiancats">Debian/CATS</a> running
-         inside the emulator. (Alternatively, if you are on a Linux host,
-         you could use a loopback mount, or similar. This might require
-         root access. See e.g.

-         <p>
-         In order to actually boot the system you need to modify /etc/fstab.
-         Change<pre>
-         /dev/root               /               nfs     defaults        1 1
-         #/dev/sdc1              /               ext2    defaults        1 1

+ <p>At the time of writing this, there are not yet any formal releases

+ <p>The NetBSD/landisk distribution does not include any INSTALL kernel,
+ so it must be installed using another (emulated) machine.
+ <p>The following instructions will let you install NetBSD/landisk onto a disk
+ image, using an emulated CATS machine:
+ <p>
+ <ol>
+   <li>Download a NetBSD/cats install kernel:<pre>
+         <a href="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/cats/binary/kernel/netbsd.aout-INSTALL.gz">ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/cats/binary/kernel/netbsd.aout-INSTALL.gz</a>
+ </pre>
+   <p>
+   <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
+         that you will install NetBSD/landisk onto:<pre>
+         <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_landisk.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=900000</b>
+ </pre>
+   <p>
+   <li>Download the latest netbsd-4 (pre-release) snapshot, and make an iso image
+         of it: (replace 200704110002Z with whatever is the latest one)<pre>
+         <b>wget -np -l 0 -r ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200704110002Z/landisk
+         mkisofs -U -o landisk.iso ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/*</b>
+ </pre>
+   <p>
+   <li>Start the emulated CATS machine like this:<pre>
+         <b>gxemul -XEcats -d nbsd_landisk.img -d landisk.iso netbsd.aout-INSTALL.gz</b>
+ </pre>
+   <li>Exit the installer, then execute the following commands:
+ <p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
+ <b>disklabel -i -I wd0</b>    (for example 'a', '4.2BSD', '1c',
+     '700M', 'b', 'swap', '701M', '$', 'P', 'W', 'y', and 'Q')
+ <b>newfs /dev/wd0a

+ mkdir /mnt2; mount /dev/wd0a /mnt2

+ exit

+ </pre></td></tr></table>
+ </ol>
+ <p>You should now be able to boot NetBSD/landisk using this command:<pre>

+ It is possible to install and run

+ in GXemul. There is at the time of writing this no stable release
+ yet of OpenBSD/landisk, but there are snapshots available on the
+ OpenBSD ftp site.
+ <p><font color="#ff0000">NOTE: This is still too
+ unstable to be considered really working!</font>
+ <p>To install OpenBSD/landisk onto an emulated harddisk image,
+ follow these instructions:
+ <p>
+ <ol>
+   <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk
+         that OpenBSD installs itself onto:<pre>
+         <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=obsd_landisk.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=900000</b>
+ </pre>
+   <li>Download the entire landisk directory from the ftp server:<pre>
+         <b>wget -np -l 0 -r <a href="ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/">ftp://ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/</a></b>
+         <b>cp ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/bsd .</b>
+         <b>cp ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/landisk/bsd.rd .</b>
+ </pre>
+         (Replace ftp.se.openbsd.org with a server closer to you, for
+         increased download speed.)
+   <p>
+   <li>You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded.
+         (I recommend using <tt>mkisofs</tt> for that purpose. If you don't
+         already have <tt>mkisofs</tt> installed on your system, you need
+         to install it in order to do this.)<pre>
+         <b>mkisofs -allow-lowercase -o openbsd_landisk_snapshot.iso ftp.se.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/</b>
+         <b>rm -rf ftp.se.openbsd.org</b>      <i>(this directory is not needed anymore)</i>
+ </pre>
+   <li>Start the emulator using this command line:<pre>
+         <b>gxemul -x -Elandisk -d obsd_landisk.img -d d:openbsd_landisk_snapshot.iso bsd.rd</b>
+ </pre>
+         and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD
+         on a real landisk. The following hints are useful to get you
+         through the installation:
+         <ul>
+           <li>Terminal type = <b>xterm</b>
+           <li>root disk = <b>wd0</b> (the disk to install onto)
+           <li>Use the entire disk for OpenBSD = <b>yes</b>
+           <li>Create one big root partition (a) and a small swap partition (b). c is the entire disk.
+           <li>Do <b>not</b> configure the network.
+           <li>Location of sets = <b>disk</b>
+           <li>Is the disk partition already mounted = <b>no</b>
+           <li>Disk containing the install media = <b>wd1</b>
+           <li>Pathname to the sets = <b>snapshot/landisk</b>
+         </ul>
+ </ol>
+ <p>Once the install has finished, the following command should let you
+ boot from the disk image:
+ <p><pre>
+         <b>gxemul -x -E landisk -d obsd_landisk.img bsd</b>
+ </pre>
