So how do I install ?

NetBSD-Athena was de-supported in May of 2001. It is no longer recommended that you install it.

First, find out if your hardware is supported.
Get an IP address and hostname as part of ResNet.
Get the SIPB installation document. It is available as /afs/sipb/project/doc/current/netbsd-install.dvi, and we recommend you print it out before trying to install. You can also come by W20-557 and pick up a paper copy.
Generate an installation floppy (see above).
Back up everything you aren't willing to lose. Things can always go wrong.
Insert the install floppy, and follow the instructions in the above document.

Feel free to ask people in SIPB if you have questions (x3-7788), or send mail to

netbsd-help@mit.edu

to get your questions answered.

If you want to help develop and compile Athena software for NetBSD, we would be extremely happy to hear from you. Otherwise, enjoy your system.
