instalation procedures for netbsd 2.0rc1 using the old JINSTALL.gz

Hi,
Yesterday I instaled the NetBSD 2.0rc1 using sysinst, and I the only issue 
that made to completely install the system was create some emptys tarballs 
(xmisc.tgz and xcontrib.tgz, if I think).
But when I booted inside the new system, It stopped at "no /dev/console", and 
it had no device files.
Does MAKEDEV script has a option the create all device files?

bye,
rafael diniz

I made a link from /dev/console to /dev/ttyE0 and now it hangs after:

boot device: wd0
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
root file system type: ffs

and stops...

any ideias?

thanx,

you don't need MAKEDEV, if you have got a running netbsd just copy the
/dev-entries to your cf-card
since then i had no /dev/console not found error message
but i have 2 problems:

NetBSD 2.0 issues

What instalation method will be recommended to new users that want to use 
NetBSD 2.0 in hpcarm handheld?
Cross compile the system in a i386 machine and copy it to the cf card?
Just untar the hpcarm binary tgz's inside the cf card?

and forget the sysinst installation with new kernel ?

thanx
rafael diniz

I'd say that's the easiest way if you have another netbsd machine.

still the same problem with the binary build

hi again,
ok now my netbsd is boots on my jornada, but i still got the problem with
the option insecure i need in my kernel, heres the output if i put an
"passwd" into my rc.local and change the password this way:

passwd: The passwd file is busy, waiting...
passwd: The passwd file is still busy, try again later

this is because of the option insecure isn't it?

what happens when you boot to single-user mode by checking the
appropriate box in hpcboot?

from vipw(8):
     If a vipw session is killed it may leave ``/etc/ptmp'', which will cause
     future vipw executions to fail with ``vipw: the passwd file is busy'',
     until it is removed.

so, try 'rm /etc/ptmp'.  Maybe that will help.

Re: still the same problem with the binary build

ok now i'm a little bit further
there is no /etc/ptmp
and i cant mount anything in single mode because i don't have a "/" key,
it's funny because not every key on my jornada prints sings..... *argh*
