Hi All and Happy Thanksgiving!
I have a Sun 3/80 which I'd like to get SunOS running on. In 1990 my work machine was a 3/50 but installation from tape
was straightforward...
I don't have a tape, tape drive, or CD drive so it will have to be either Netboot or a Network install. I also have a
ZuluSCSI disk emulator so I could potentially work from a bootable disk image.
I spent some time digging into Netboot. I'm hopeful that I can remote boot from my desktop Ubuntu machine but I'm
having a little trouble understanding how to layout the various NFS /export directories and how to properly name them
for the Sun3x architecture. There's some information on sun3arc and sunhelp which has been helpful but I think it's
incomplete.
Is there anyone who has Netboot from Linux for a Sun3x running? If so, it would be a great help to have a copy of your
/export -- or at least the output of "ls -lR /export".
Alternatively, has anyone had good luck with a ZuluSCSI device? Maybe you would share a copy of your disk image?
Any other ideas that might help would also be very welcome.
Thanks!
-Bill
