- Here's what you do:
-
- When the system came up, it said the name of your ethernet board. It was
- either ne0 for a novel ne-2000 board or w??0 (I forget exactly) for the
- western digital board.
-
- I had a ne-2000 clone, so I used ne0. In this example, replace all the
- 'ne0' with whatever board you have.
-
- first, type
-
- ifconfig ne0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-
- where you put the internet address you will use for your machine in the
- place of the xxx's. This configures the network software.
-
- Now you just type
-
- ftp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
-
- where you replace yyy's with the ip address of the machine you are going
- to get stuff from. If you don't know the address, most unix machines
- have 'nslookup'. (Your 386bsd machine doesn't (yet)). For example,
-
- % nslookup export.lcs.mit.edu
-
- Name Server: localhost
- Address: 127.0.0.1
-
- Non-authoritative answer:
- Name: export.lcs.mit.edu
- Address: 18.24.0.12
-
- (note that there isn't any 386bsd stuff there. :)
-
- Later, you may want to set up a name server or list machines in /etc/hosts
- so your machine can know others by name, but that will be after you get
- your install done.
