I finally figured out how to get my Sun 3/60 and 3/60LE to load up NetBSD's RAMDISK kernel. I need some help figuring out edlabel, so I can partition my disk and get NetBSD installed. Eventually, I'd like to load up SunOS as well. In a perfect world. I'd get my drive running, image it under Linux using dd, and copy those images to a ZuluSCSI.
That said, I don't really know how to convert megabytes into blocks or cylinders, and edlabel is not at all intuitive. Also, someone on a retro UNIX facebook group suggested 512 byte blocks on ZuluSCSI, but ZuluSCSI documentation is pretty bad. I'm sure there are a lot of undocumented options not detailed on the github page.
I'm trying to get this system running to take to our club's next GTG, but it's also been a project I've wanted to get done for a while. Both systems are maxed out, RAM-wise, and both also have P4 color framebuffers (don't have a working ECL monitor, but plenty of keyboards and mice).
