 supports R4000-like CPUs on pmax, but the bintrans support for R4000 in

412    <h3>Installing NetBSD/cobalt in GXemul:</h3>
413    
414    <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/">NetBSD/cobalt</a> is tricky
415    to install, because the Cobalt machines were designed for Linux, and not
416    very flexible. There is no INSTALL kernel for NetBSD/cobalt. One way to
417    install the NetBSD/cobalt distribution onto a disk image is to do it from
418    another (emulated) machine.
419

423    
424    <p>
425    The following instructions will let you install NetBSD/cobalt onto a disk
426    image, from an emulated DECstation 3MAX machine:
427    
428    <p>
429    <ol>
430      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
431            that you will install NetBSD/cobalt onto:<pre>
432            $ <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_cobalt.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=1999000</b>
433    
434    </pre>
435      <li>Install NetBSD/pmax 2.0 according to instructions further up
436            on this page.
437      <p>
438      <li>Download the generic kernel for Cobalt (and gunzip it) and
439            the 2.0 ISO image:<pre>

442    
443    </pre>(You may want to choose a mirror closer to you, if .se is slow.)
444      <p>
445      <li>Start NetBSD/pmax like this:<pre>
446            $ <b>gxemul -b -Edec -e3max -d nbsd_pmax.img -d cobaltcd.iso -d nbsd_cobalt.img</b>
447    
448    </pre>
449      <li>Log in as root (on the emulated 3MAX machine), and execute the
450            following commands: (adjust according to taste)<pre>
451            # <b>newfs /dev/sd1c</b>
452            # <b>mount /dev/cd0c /mnt</b>
453            # <b>mkdir /mnt2; mount /dev/sd1c /mnt2</b>
454            # <b>cd /mnt2; sh</b>
455            # <b>for a in /mnt/cobalt/binary/sets/*.tgz; do echo $a; tar zxfp $a; done</b>
456            # <b>exit</b>
457            # <b>cd dev; sh ./MAKEDEV all; cd ../etc</b>

460            # <b>cd /; umount /mnt; umount /mnt2; halt</b>
461    </pre>
462    </ol>
463    
464    <p>
465    You should now be able to boot NetBSD/cobalt like this:<pre>
466            $ <b>gxemul -b -M128 -E cobalt -d nbsd_cobalt.img netbsd-GENERIC</b>
467    </pre>
468    
469    Note that the installation instructions above create a filesystem
470    <i>without</i> a disklabel, so there is only one ffs partition and no
471    swap. You will need to enter the following things when booting with the
472    generic kernel:<pre>
473            root device (default wd0a): <b>wd0d</b>
474            dump device (default wd0b): <b>none</b>
