Here are a few notes and addenda for the NetBSD/alpha 1.3 release. Please make sure you read this before attempting to do the install! INSTALL Document ---------------- In section 4.2 of the NetBSD/alpha installation instructions there is a list of media types for ethernet cards. The media type listed as "10baseT" should actually read "10baseT/UTP". In this same section, it says that you can put the line "nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx" (where xx.xx.xx.xx is an IP address) into /etc/resolv.conf to get DNS name resolution. Unfortunately, the name resolution code was excluded from the libraries in order to save space on the install floppy, so name resolution is not available. We hope to fix this in a future release. In section 4.3 the instructions for extracting the kernel are incorrect. The kernel is now in a .tgz file with all of the other sets; the filename is kern.tgz. This will be extracted with all of the other sets when you follow the modified instructions below. In section 4.3, the command line to extract the sets is wrong. It should read: for file in kern base comp etc games man misc text; do tar --unlink -x -p -z -f /mnt/var/tmp/$file.tgz; done Section 5: You will want to mount all of your partitions before you start configuring NetBSD; use the command mount -a after you boot to do this. The ifconfig_de0 example line is incorrect; it should have the name or the IP address of the interface, but not both. Here are corrected examples: ifconfig_de0="inet myname.my.dom netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_de0="inet 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0"
