752    <p>
753    To install NetBSD/cats onto a disk image, follow these instructions:
754    
755    <p>
756    <ol start="1">
757      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk
758            that you will install NetBSD/cats onto:<pre>
759            <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_cats.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=1990000</b>
760

766    
767    </pre>
768      <p>
769      <li>Start the installation like this:<pre>
770            <b>gxemul -XEcats -d nbsd_cats.img -d catscd.iso netbsd.aout-INSTALL.gz</b>
771    
772    </pre>
773            and proceed like you would do if you were installing NetBSD on a real
774            CATS from CDROM. (Install onto wd0, and choose wd1c (not cd0c) as the
775            CDROM device to install from.)
776    </ol>
777    
778    <p>If everything worked, NetBSD should now be installed on the disk image.
779    Use the following command line to boot the emulated CATS machine:<pre>

1009    <p>To install OpenBSD/cats onto an emulated harddisk image,
1010    follow these instructions:

1014      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the root disk

1023    
1024    </pre>
1025    
1026      <li>You now need to make an ISO image of the entire directory you downloaded.
1027            (I recommend using <tt>mkisofs</tt> for that purpose. If you don't
1028            already have <tt>mkisofs</tt> installed on your system, you need
1029            to install it in order to do this.)<pre>

1035    
1036    </pre>
1037            and proceed like you would do if you were installing OpenBSD
1038            on a real CATS. (Install onto <tt>wd0</tt>, don't configure the
1039            network, choose to install distribution sets from <i>disk</i>

1704    
1705    <p>It is tricky to install, because there is (as far as I know) no INSTALL
1706    kernel. One way to install the NetBSD/netwinder distribution onto a disk
1707    image is to install the files using another (emulated) machine.
1708    
1709    <p>
1710    The following instructions will let you install the NetBSD/netwinder
1711    distribution onto a disk image, from an emulated DECstation 3MAX machine:
1712    
1713    <p>
1714    <ol>
1715      <li>Install NetBSD/pmax 2.0.2 according to instructions
1716            <a href="#netbsdinstall">further up on this page</a>.
1717      <p>
1718      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
1719            that you will install NetBSD onto:<pre>
1720            <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_netwinder.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=999000</b>
1721    
1722    </pre>
1723      <li>Download the generic kernel and the 2.0.2 ISO image:<pre>
1724            <a href="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/netwinder/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz">ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/netwinder/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz</a>

1726    
1727    </pre>
1728      <p>
1729      <li>Start NetBSD/pmax like this:<pre>
1730            <b>gxemul -e 3max -A -d nbsd_pmax.img -d nbsd_netwinder.img -d netwinder.iso</b>
1731    
1732    </pre>and execute the following commands as <tt>root</tt>:
1733    <p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
1734    <b>newfs /dev/sd1c

1744    </pre></td></tr></table>
1745    </ol>
1746    
1747    <p>You should now be able to boot NetBSD/evbmips using this command:<pre>
1748            <b>gxemul -E netwinder -d nbsd_netwinder.img netbsd-GENERIC.gz</b>
1749    </pre>
1750    
1751    <p>Note: The installation instructions above create a filesystem
1752    <i>without</i> a disklabel, so there is only one ffs partition and no
1753    swap. You will need to enter the following things when booting with the

1756            dump device (default wd0b): <b>none</b>
