Umax C600
Adam Russell
done, however, I'd like to ask a couple questions first before I jump into
the install.
From the notes I have read it would appear that it is not possible to boot
from the IDE drive, is this still the case? Following from that is it
possible to boot from a SCSI drive(provided, I see, that the cdrom drive is
disconnected)? Has the cd-rom problem been fixed? Finally, does X work on
these machines?
Many thanks,
Adam Russell

I've booted recent snapshots from both the IDE and SCSI drives on my C500
with the CD-ROM connected. It can be a little tricky with the SCSI drive, I
think I found that System Disk seemed to help but I'm not positive it's not
just voodoo.
The boot device ata/ATA-Disk@0:0 works for IDE and scsi/sd@0:0 for SCSI
disks. I've never put in a boot-file, sometimes it will complain that it
"can't use device path" or something similar but boots anyway.
I've never used X on the box (it's a server) so I don't know about that.
Let me know if you have any troubles.
cheers,
Matthew

into any deviations from the standard install or previuosly documented gotchas
I'll let the list know and write up a Umax install doc on my homepage for
anyone else with one of these machines.

ofwboot has a canned in default of 'netbsd' if boot-file is undefined (blank).
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.

Whoops, one last question, as I download the 20000606 snapshot, what should I use
for a boot floppy? Should I use an older bootfloppy.fs image or something else? I
see ofwboot.elf in the snapshot directory but I'm not sure what to do with it.
What should I use?
Best Regards,
