/etc/fstab setup:

You probably want:

	kernfs /kern kernfs rw 1 1
	/proc /proc procfs rw 1 2		(required for using debugger)
Maybe:
	/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro 1 2		(for SCSI cdrom as device cd0) 
	/dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=20440 1 2

* cd9660 is for ISO-9660 discs.  If Rock Ridge extensions are there,
it'll use them.

* MFS (memory file system, i.e. ramdisk) for /tmp: good if you have lots
of ram, probably not good if you have too little ram.  Everything in it
goes away at reboot or shutdown.  "-s=" sets size in kilobytes.

* accessing an MS-DOS partition from NetBSD:
something like

	/dev/wd0g /msdos msdos ro 1 2

* set up partition g in your disk label (use disklabel(8) to edit):
something like:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  g:   xxxxxx   yy        MS-DOS                        # (Cyl.  922 - 1023)

Assuming DOS is at front of disk, then: yy = one track's worth of
sectors.  e.g. if your disk is 934 cylinders, 14 tracks, 51
sectors/track, then yy=51.  xxxxxx = size of DOS partition, less yy.
e.g. if DOS is first 580 cylinders:
  g:   414069   51        MS-DOS                        # (Cyl.  0* - 579*)

* Note:  some bugs still in MS-DOS filesystem driver.  If you run out of
space on the DOS partition, expect some problems.


Networking: PPP, SLIP, Tether/Bluebox, etc.

* need 'pseudo-device sl 2' or 'pseudo-device ppp 2' in your kernel config

* see /afs/sipb/project/netbsd/dev/tether

* you can run 'pppd' with options to dial up to Tether (blue-box) and
log into the Tether server.  e.g. 'pppd tty01 57600' if your modem is on
tty01 (com2:)

* bug in blue-box server can't handle some new TCP options used by
NetBSD, so you must use these options:
	-vj -vjccomp 

* SLIP: three steps:  dial modem/attach cable, slattach, ifconfig.
* dial modem (e.g. kermit), make sure modem won't drop when DTR deasserted
* slattach [-h] -s 57600 /dev/tty01 (-h means hardware flow control)
* ifconfig sl0 <local addr> <foreign addr> [ link0 ]
* link0 means VJ compression by default
* "No route to host" error probably means the serial line doesn't have
	CD asserted.  Try 'stty -f /dev/ttyXX clocal' or add "softcar" to
	/etc/ttys line

Printer stuff:

* /usr/athena/bin/lpr will work fine for printing to Athena network printers
* If you want to set up a local printer that's not PostScript
(e.g. HP DeskJet 500), but want to be able to print PostScript to it,
you can get the 'djlpf' package from
sipb.mit.edu:/pub/netbsd/src/djlpf.tgz
* You'll also need GhostScript (it converts PS to raster images for the
printer).
* I recommend the 'interruptless' printer device.  /dev/lpa0 is fine for
non-DeskJet; mknod /dev/lpa0np c 16 192 for one that doesn't reset the
parallel port on each open (otherwise the DeskJet gets reset and makes
bad loud noises).
* be sure to get the official patches for an early lpt bug. (patch_04
from any NetBSD mirror)
