A couple of weeks ago, I fired up Virtualbox and installed NetBSD/i386 = 1.0 from floppy images. Virtualbox can be persuaded to read 1.2MB = floppies - I=E2=80=99ve had less luck on Qemu with this. But after I = setup the VM, I quickly converted it to one that Qemu could use. Then I loaded all the source floppies for 1.1 and 1.2 onto the VM, then = upgraded the VM to 1.1 then 1.2 by compiling from source. By which time = the pcnet network interface worked reliably. NetBSD still provides a = pserver CVS method, so I was able then to CVS update, upgrade to 1.3.3 = onwards. 1.4.3 -> 1.5.4 involves a change of binary format from a.out -> ELF.=20 =46rom 1.6 onwards, life becaomes simpler because of the build.sh = system, but I spent the time to go all the way up to 9.2 via sources = between each release. (I managed to build 9.2 from 6.1 as well.) The VMs can be found on this landing page: https://chrispinnock.com/stuff/netbsd/ I=E2=80=99m working on a write-up which I will publish at some point and = I=E2=80=99m also working on OpenBSD branching off at NetBSD 1.1 - I=E2=80=99= ve build a OpenBSD 2.0 VM from the NetBSD 1.1 VM on the page above. amnesiac# ls -l /ne* =20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19089180 Mar 26 02:47 /netbsd =20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 659600 Mar 13 22:09 /netbsd.10 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1332275 Mar 13 22:09 /netbsd.11 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1477949 Mar 13 16:13 /netbsd.12 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1530049 Mar 13 17:47 /netbsd.121 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2211878 Mar 14 02:23 /netbsd.133 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3407541 Mar 14 05:12 /netbsd.143 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4941157 Mar 14 05:50 /netbsd.154.aout -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5048054 Mar 14 09:20 /netbsd.154.elf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6182687 Mar 14 11:53 /netbsd.162 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7447216 Mar 14 14:35 /netbsd.203 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7476202 Mar 15 01:12 /netbsd.21 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8577892 Mar 15 11:50 /netbsd.31 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10343742 Mar 15 23:47 /netbsd.4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12002769 Mar 16 05:31 /netbsd.52 =20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13116694 Mar 16 14:53 /netbsd.61 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17143555 Mar 17 04:50 /netbsd.72 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19695304 Mar 20 09:12 /netbsd.82 =20 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19089180 Mar 28 10:46 /netbsd.92 All the best Chris=
