988    <p>Note: The installation instructions above create a filesystem

992            root device (default wd0a): <b>wd0c</b>
993            dump device (default wd0b): <i>(just press enter)</i>

997    
998    <p>Known bugs/problems:
999    
1000    <ul>
1001            <li>There is a long delay when starting up NetBSD/netwinder
1002                    (several seconds even on a very fast host machine),
1003                    so you need to be patient.
1004            <li>There is a minor bug in the keyboard device, so you need to
1005                    press a key (any key) before typing wd0c.
1006            <li>When halting/rebooting NetBSD/netwinder, the emulator
1007                    prints a message saying something about an internal
1008                    error. This doesn't matter; ignore the message.

2368    <h3>NetBSD/bebox:</h3>
2369    
2370    There is an old snapshot of
2371    <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/bebox/">NetBSD/bebox</a>
2372    from 1998-11-19 available at NetBSD's ftp server. NetBSD/bebox
2373    could theoretically run in GXemul.
2374    <font color="#ff0000">IT DOES <b>NOT</b> WORK RIGHT NOW!</font>
2375    
2376    <p>The following instructions will let you install NetBSD/bebox onto a
2377    disk image, using a NetBSD/prep kernel temporarily during the install:
2378    
2379    <p>
2380    <ol>
2381      <li>Download a NetBSD/prep 2.1 install ramdisk kernel:<pre>
2382            <a href="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.1/prep/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz">ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.1/prep/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz</a>
2383    </pre>
2384      <p>
2385      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
2386            that you will install NetBSD onto:<pre>
2387            <b>dd if=/dev/zero of=nbsd_bebox.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=999000</b>
2388    </pre>
2389      <p>
2390      <li>Download the NetBSD/bebox snapshot, and create a suitable .iso
2391            image of the files:
2392    <p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>
2393    <b>wget -np -l 0 -r <a href="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/bebox/snapshot/19981119/">ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/bebox/snapshot/19981119/</a>
2394    mv ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/bebox/snapshot/19981119/kern.tgz .
2395    tar zxvf kern.tgz
2396    rm -f kern.tgz

2398    </pre></td></tr></table>
2399      <p>
2400      <li>Now let's extract the files onto the Bebox disk image. Start NetBSD/prep
2401            with the following command line:<pre>
2402            <b>gxemul -x -e ibm6050 -d d:netbsd-bebox-19981119.iso -d nbsd_bebox.img netbsd-INSTALL.gz</b>
2403    
2404    </pre>Choose (S) for Shell, and execute the following commands:
2405    <p><table border="0"><tr><td><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td><td><pre>

2428    sync; halt</b>
2429    </pre></td></tr></table>
2430    </ol>
2431    
2432    <p>You should now be able to boot NetBSD/bebox using this command:<pre>
2433            <b>gxemul -X -E bebox -d nbsd_bebox.img netbsd</b>
2434    </pre>
2435    
2436    <p>When asked for the root device, enter <b><tt>wd0a</tt></b>.
2437    
2438    <p><font color="#ff0000">IT DOES <b>NOT</b> WORK YET</font>, there are
2439    errors while uncompressing the tgz files, and the machine crashes when
2440    trying to run /sbin/init.
