+NOTE:  In the following examples you will see references to
+disk devices.  For those not familiar with NetBSD, the following
+prefixes are used to denote drive types:
+
+	sd	SCSI disk
+	rd	HP-IB disk
+
+In the examples that follow, `rd' will be used.  The steps are
+exactly the same for `sd' disks.  Only the names have changed
+to protect the innocent.
+
+Assuming you have read this document thoroughly and kept good notes
+about your partitions, the rest should be fairly straight forward.
+
+Before you begin, you must have already prepared the target disk
+as detailed in the section on preparing your system for install.
+
+The following is a walk-through of the steps necessary to finish
+what the preparation process has already begun.  You may choose to
+stop the process at any time, but if you do, it's recommended that
+you start over from scratch.
+
+	First you need to boot off of the target disk which
+	you have made in the preparation process.  To do this,
+	halt HP-UX, power-cycle your machine, and hit the space
+	bar during the boot ROM's probing/testing sequence.
+	You should eventually be presented with a list of systems
+	from which to boot.  You want the one called `SYS_PBOOT'.
+
+	After selecting `SYS_PBOOT', your system should load the
+	NetBSD boot block and ask you for a kernel to load.
+	Enter the following to boot NetBSD into single-user mode.
+	(Note: it will come into single-user anyway, as there is
+	not yet an fstab, but this makes it happen more gracefully.)
+
+		netbsd -s
+
+	The kernel will now load, and configure your hardware.
+	Make a note of the device it lists when mounting the
+	root filesystem.  It should look something like this:
+
+		Changing root device to rd0a
+
+	The message above is an example only.  Your message may
+	be different.
+
+	Check the root filesystem.  Use the raw flavor of the
+	device listed during the `Changing root device...'
+	message.  Example:
+
+		fsck -p /dev/rrd0a
+
+	Mount the root filesystem:
+
+		mount /dev/rd0a /
+
+	It's now time to newfs all of the other partitions you
+	listed in your disk label.  So, for example, if rd0e and
+	rd0f were to have filesystems put on them, you would
+	do the following:
+
+		newfs /dev/rrd0e
+		newfs /dev/rrd0f
+
+	Ensure that the mount-points for these filesystems are clean.
+	If these filesystems are to be /var and /usr, respectively,
+	just check that there are no files in those directories.
+	There shouldn't be.  Once you've made sure, go ahead and
+	mount those filesystems.
+
+	It's now time to get the distribution sets onto the root
+	or other filesystem.  There are several programs in /ibin
+	to help you with this.  At your disposal, you have:
+
+		ftp
+		gzip
+		tar
+		extract
+
+	Except for extract, which is just a script to help the
+	process along, these are statically-linked versions of
+	themselves, which normally appear in /usr/bin.
+
+	If you placed the distribution sets on tape, go to the
+	directory where you wish to temporarily place them and
+	extract them from tape, using /dev/nrstX for SCSI tapes
+	or /dev/nrctX for HP-IB cartridge tapes, where X is the
+	unit number of the tape, probably 0.
+
+		tar xvf /dev/nrst0
+
+	If this extracts the sets directly into your current
+	directory, terrific.  Otherwise, go to the directory in
+	which they live.  Skip on to extracting the sets.
+
+	If you will be grabbing the sets off of the network somehow,
+	configure your network interface:
+
+		ifconfig le0 inet <ipaddr> <netmask> <broadcast>
+		route add default <addr-of-default-router>
+
+	If you will be ftp'ing the sets from one of the NetBSD ftp
+	sites, go to the directory where you wish to temporarily
+	place them and download them from the ftp site of your choice.
+	Since you haven't yet created a resolv.conf, you'll need to
+	use the IP address.
+
+		/ibin/ftp <ftp_ipaddr>
+
+	If you will be getting the sets from an NFS server, mount
+	the filesystem on the server which has the sets, and go
+	to the directory that has them.  Again, you'll need to use
+	the IP address of the server.
+
+		mount -t nfs <serv_ipaddr>:<server_dir> <mount_point>
+
+	At this point, you have everything necessary to label any
+	additional disks that you wish to label.  If you created
+	additional labels in the preparation phase, and have
+	access to them now, go ahead and label the disks they
+	correspond to:
+
+		disklabel -W rd1
+		disklabel -r -R rd1 rd1.label
+	where:
+		rd1		additional disk you wish to label
+		rd1.label	file containing disk label information
+
+	You may check these labels once they are on the disk:
+
+		disklabel -r rd1
+	where:
+		rd1		additional disk you wish to label
+
+	A problem with a partition (such as overlaps or not falling
+	on a cylinder boundary) will be noted with a `*'.  If you see
+	these, re-edit your label by the method of your choice (on
+	another machine, perhaps, or with ed(1), for the brave),
+	transfer it to a place that's usable (if necessary) and
+	label the disk again.
+
+	Once these disks have been labeled, you may newfs the
+	partitions that are to contain filesystems and mount them.
+
+	You should now be ready to extract the filesets.  The program
+	/ibin/extract should help you with this.  For example:
+
+		/ibin/extract base
+	-or-	/ibin/extract base.tar.gz
+
+	Do this for all of the filesets you wish to extract.  As your disk
+	fills up, you may wish to remove the sets once you have extracted
+	them.
+
+	You should have everything necessary to use an editor by now.
+	Set your TERM environment variable:
+
+		setenv TERM hp300h	(csh)
+	-or-	export TERM=hp300h	(sh)
+
+	hp300h is the terminal type for the HP 9000/300 ITE console.
+	If you are using a serial console, change the TERM variable
+	appropriately.  Now, initialize the terminal:
+
+		tset
+
+	You should be able to use vi now.
+
+	Create an /etc/fstab.  Example fstabs are provided in
+	/etc/fstab.sd and /etc/fstab.rd.
+
+	Edit your host table, /etc/hosts.  In it, place the IP
+	address of this host and the IP address of your default
+	router.
+
+	Edit the file /etc/myname.  In it, place the symbolic name
+	of your machine.
+
+	Edit the file /etc/defaultdomain.  In it, place the name
+	of your YP domain.  If you will not be using YP, simply
+	enter the domain name of your site.
+
+	Edit the file /etc/mygate.  In it, place the name of
+	your default router, as your listed it in /etc/hosts.
+
+	Edit the file /etc/hostname.le0.  In it, place the following
+	information:
+
+		inet <myname.my.domain> <netmask> <broadcast>
+
+	where:
+		<myname.my.domain> is the name corresponsing to
+		the IP address for that interface, as you listed in
+		/etc/hosts.
+
+		<netmask> is the netmask for your network.
+
+		<broadcast> is the broadcast address for your network.
+
+	Repeat this step for any additional network interfaces you
+	may have.
+
+	Edit the file /etc/ttys.  Make sure that the entries are
+	correct for whichever console type you have.  /dev/console
+	is correct for ITE, /dev/tty0 for console on dca, and
+	/dev/tty00 for console on dcm.  You may get more information
+	about /etc/ttys by doing `man ttys', providing you have
+	installed the system manual set.
+
+	Ok, cross your fingers and reboot:
+
+		sync; sync; sync; reboot
+
+	Providing you entered all information correctly, your
+	machine will boot into multi-user mode.  Your system
+	will need a few tweaks here and there (like /etc/sendmail.cf
+	and /etc/netstart, perhaps), but that's the easy stuff.
+
+	CONGRATULATIONS!  You have successfully installed NetBSD
+	onto your hp300!  Pat yourself on the back.  This might also
+	be a good time to remove /ibin, as you will no longer need
+	it, and it is provided solely for bootstrapping purposes.
