NetBSD 2.0 notes
I need a place to keep some notes about installing NetBSD 2.0 on my Cobalt Raq2, which was recently upgraded with a 120GB HD.
Settings for communicating across the serial port:
115200 bps
8 bits
1 stop bit
N parity
Here is the output from bootup:

Jul 13 16:38:41 paneld[472]: cannot attach to device hd44780, node /dev/lcd
Wed Jul 13 16:38:41 UTC 2005
NetBSD/cobalt (Amnesiac) (tty00)
To get the LCD panel working, as root type:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV panel
# rm /dev/lcd
# ln -s /dev/panel0 /dev/lcd
(from here)
Edit some network settings:
# echo '348north.com' > /etc/defaultdomain
# echo '10.0.1.5 raq.348north.com raq' > /etc/hosts
# echo 'inet 10.0.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0' > /etc/ifconfig.tlp0
# echo '10.0.1.1' > /etc/mygate
# echo 'raq.348north.com' > /etc/myname
Also need to create /etc/resolv.conf as so:
domain 348north.com
search 348north.com
nameserver 10.0.1.1
Now I need to get pkgsrc:
# cd
# ftp
ftp> open ftp.NetBSD.org
ftp> cd pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/
ftp> get pkgsrc.tar.gz
ftp> exit
# tar -xzvf ~/pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
# rm pkgsrc.tar.gz
And, of course, my first package:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/webmin
# make install
(which of course installs several other packages)
There’s more, of course — like disabling telnet and setting a root password, but I’ll leave something to the imagination.
