 NetBSD/pmax seems to work fine with dynamic binary translation (enabled  
 by the <b>-b</b> command line option) in R3000 mode. NetBSD also  
 supports R4000-like CPUs on pmax, but the bintrans support for R4000 in  
 the emulator is less stable than for R3000.

405    <h3>Installing NetBSD/cobalt in GXemul:</h3>
406    
407    <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/">NetBSD/cobalt</a> is tricky
408    to install, because the Cobalt machines were designed for Linux, and not
409    very flexible. There is no INSTALL kernel for NetBSD/cobalt. One way to
410    install the NetBSD/cobalt distribution onto a disk image is to do it from
411    another (emulated) machine.
412    
413    <p>

416    
417    <p>
418    The following instructions will let you install NetBSD/cobalt onto a disk
419    image, from an emulated DECstation 3MAX machine:
420    
421    <p>
422    <ol>
423      <li>Create an empty harddisk image, which will be the disk image
424            that you will install NetBSD/cobalt onto:<pre>

426

428      <li>Download the generic kernel for Cobalt (and gunzip it) and

432    
433    </pre>(You may want to choose a mirror closer to you, if .se is slow.)
434      <p>
435      <li>Install NetBSD/pmax 2.0 according to instructions further up
436            on this page.
437      <p>
438      <li>Start NetBSD/pmax like this:<pre>
439            $ <b>gxemul -b -Edec -e3max -d nbsd_pmax.img -d cobaltcd.iso -d nbsd_cobalt.img</b>
440    
441    </pre>
442      <li>Log in as root (on the emulated 3MAX machine), and execute the
443            following commands: (adjust according to taste)<pre>
444            # <b>newfs /dev/sd1c</b>
445            # <b>mount /dev/cd0c /mnt</b>
446            # <b>mkdir /mnt2; mount /dev/sd1c /mnt2</b>
447            # <b>cd /mnt2; sh</b>

454    </pre>
455    </ol>
456    
457    <p>
458    You should now be able to boot NetBSD/cobalt like this:<pre>
459            $ <b>gxemul -b -M128 -E cobalt -d nbsd_cobalt.img netbsd-GENERIC</b>
460    </pre>
461    
462    Note that the installation instructions above create a filesystem
463    <i>without</i> a disklabel, so there is only one ffs partition and no
464    swap. You will need to enter the following things when booting with the
465    generic kernel:<pre>
466            root device (default wd0a): <b>wd0d</b>
467            dump device (default wd0b): <b>none</b>
468            file system (default generic): <b>ffs</b>
469            init path (default /sbin/init):     <i>(just press enter here)</i>
