How to install NetBSd on an iPAQ 3600?

Hi,

Would anyone has a step-by-step procedure tell me how
to 
install NetBSD on an iPAQ? I have a 256MB CF card, but
I don't have anything NIC on an iPAQ.
I follow instructions
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/hpcmips/install.txt
, create a file systme on CF. But it seems that kernel
can't find wd0 device on an iPAQ.
If you have procedures in detail, please tell me,
thanks.

Regards,
keichii

"how to install NetBSD on a palmtop" article published


At long last, the "how to install" article went up.

Thanks to all here for their help!

Hi Michael,

I followed your instructions to install iPAQ 3630.
Using wd to boot, wd0e is my msdos partion. While
booting, it always has error messages said wd0e
timeout.
I don't know whether the same instructions to install
an IPAQ, thanks.

Sorry, I have no idea.  :-(

Can you get a serial console on this, and send us all of the verbose
boot messages?  That would help figure out what the problem is.

(I don't own an IPAQ, but I'm willing to see if any of the errors you
got resemble any of those I got during my install...)

kernel config file changes

If nobody complain, I'd like to make some changes to kernel config
files:

1) Introduce a GENERIC file, which will not be used directly. JORNADA720
and IPAQ would include it and define what is really machine-specific.
(Just like sgimips works). This would avoid duplicating a lot of
configuration in the two file (or not duplicating: I just discovered
IPAQ had no mii support. Anyone tried to use a PCMCIA board in it?).

2) Introduce a PHYSMEM make option, which would specify physical memory.
Physical memory is not probed correctly, and this causes problems for
the Jornada 728 (which has 64MB, versus 32MB for the Jornada 720). For
now, the only way of using 64MB on a 728 is to patch the source file
where physical memory size is hardcoded. Specifying the size in the
config file is not perfect, but at least it's better. 

3) Add JORNADA728, which would just define PHYSMEM to 64MB.

Comments?

It would be nice to go a bit further then a common GENERIC, probably
towards what evbarm looks like.  Adding support for non-StrongARM
processors to the current hpcarm layout wouldn't be as nice as it could
(support for XScale based handhelds should go to hpcarm, shouldn't it?). I
volunteer to break SA specific stuff to separate config/make fragments if
people think it's a good idea...

Ok, go ahead and break it, I'll add the PHYSMEM option afterward (except
if you want to do it too ;o)

Re: "how to install NetBSD on a palmtop" article published

Hi,

While I don't own an IPAQ, looking at the dmesg, it appears that for
some reason the system can't even begin to read the flash disk... it
gets a fsbn error at block 0.

Are you sure this flash is good?  Try to reformat it and see if it's
recognized, or if any other OS can recognize it.

Failing that, I really have no idea...  sorry.

HP Jornada 720 and network cards

Hi,

which kind of PCMCIA network interface cards are people using with their 
Jornada 72x? Any recommendations for WLAN/(Fast)Ethernet?
