If you want to try something now you're welcome to rawrite
/afs/athena/user/e/f/eford/.Public/nfsana.fs to a floppy, do the installation
bit, but when it asks to reboot, say no. Then ftp ringworld, or some other
dialup and ftp /afs/athena/user/e/f/eford/.Public/netbsd into /mnt/netbsd and
ftp /afs/athena/user/e/f/eford/.Public/libafs1_0A.o into your
/mnt/usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs1_0A.o. (I was wrong in my earlier msg, it's
actually libafs1_0A.o.1.29) Then you can reboot and hope.
However, bewarned: This is a current kernel, and some things are a little
buggy. (i.e. if I copy many files with long names into a Win95 partition
directory that begin with the same six letters, it crashes). Also, I this
kernel may not support all your hardware (not sure what you have).
The advantage of this option is that everything is here and noone has to
compile a kernel. However, if someone does compile you a kernel, please let
me know because I'll want to know what source tree and what version of libafs
they used.
Also, if jhawk or someone else on this list says to do anything different, I
defer to them.
Eric
