| NetBSD on a PowerBook 165 |
Posted by: Ruik on 2007-11-25 19:43:37
I figure since we were kinda running away with the thread, I'd repost down here.
Goal:
Install NetBSD mac68k on my PB165, we'll see how it goes. I first need to link it via localtalk(?) to another machine since the floppy won't do it.

Install NetBSD mac68k on my PB165 I managed to get NetBSD 3.0.1 running on an LCII with 10Mb RAM, FPU and ethernet.
SSHD bombs when it tries to generate keys though however that runs fine on my IIvx.

Sounds like fun. Good luck!

Incidentally, NetBSD 4.0 was just released. However, I still don't see a "mac68k" port of it. The "mac68k" port is still at version 3.1.

Incidentally, NetBSD 4.0 was just released. Sweeeeeeet! Now I'll have to fire up my Q840 and get it installed, and start cranking out binary packages again. NB4 had an awfully long release cycle, it seems.

ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-4.0/mac68k/
You might need to try a local mirror if you can't get a connection to that one.

Oh cool! I guess I just jumped the gun a bit. When I checked earlier, it was still at 3.1 with no mention of "mac68k" in the directory for NBSD 4.
I'll have to download it soon and get it on my Quadra 650.
EDIT: I just realized that the ISO image of NBSD 4.0 isn't up yet for "mac68k", but as you said the 4.0 release files are there. I'm guessing there's some way to update from 3.1 to 4.0? (Sorry for my lack of knowledge with NBSD. :I )

(Sorry for my lack of knowledge with NBSD. :I ) Installing from CD is definitely the easiest/best for new installs, as you don't have to leave a big Mac partition to hold the files during installation. As I have a working system, pulling the release files into a directory somewhere and using that as the install base is also possible.

Oh, and if you haven't considered it already, you should think about writing up your progress for the RetroChallenge Winter Warmup:

Been thinking about that one. I might get my Quadra 650 (along with some other old Apple stuff I just liberated) and start working on some compositions. 😀

I guess you guys figured out that I wasn't able to get it up and running.. Ran out of time. Life hit me hard in that area..
🙁
