Hi folks...

Netstation (again)
----------
The site now contains some disclaimered-to-the-moon-and-back-again
preliminary documentation on how to set a server up so that it can bootstrap
a NetStation; you can find this as
http://www.art.acorn.co.uk/SALES/DEVELOPERS/resource/reference/nc/dwbootdoc.arc
(Spark-archived Impression Style doc) or
http://www.art.acorn.co.uk/SALES/DEVELOPERS/resource/reference/nc/dwbootdoc.ps
(EPS). 

I do not guarantee that this documentation will give you all the information
needed to bring a NetStation fully to life, but it should help you get a
great deal of the way there; as I continue to sort things out and generally
explore at this end, anything useful I find will be added. As some
information contained in the docs is sensitive (particularly how to go about
bypassing the smartcard checks), this documentation is strictly developer
confidential.

Also the file
http://www.art.acorn.co.uk/SALES/DEVELOPERS/resource/reference/nc/read1st.txt
has been written; this details ongoing issues and any problems with the
bootstrap archive. to begin with, those of you who have downloaded the
archive should, Once you have decompressed it, examine the
boot/!NFSBoot/RunEther,feb file and remove the reference to MovieFS
(otherwise the system will complain that MovieFS can't be found).

Cheers,

Dave
