I am posting this information to the newsgroup because I believe
it could be of interest to others too.
The process of installing BNET, NFS, and an Apple Ethernet card
takes about 15 minutes; maybe 30 minutes the first time. If you
haven't done an Ethernet installation before, you may want to
wait for the manuals; for reference.
In general, the procedures are:
1) Shut the system down.
2) Configure one jumper and install EtherTalk card into NuBus slot.
3) Connect Ethernet cable (from backbone) to Ethernet card.
4) Bring system up into single-user mode.
5) Create BNET/NFS kernel.
6) Modify standard BNET and NFS files.
7) Reboot
8) Test
The text files that need to be modified are the standard ones,
(/etc/inittab, /etc/hosts, etc.)
Before hand, be sure you choose the system's hostname and net
address because you'll be asked for it. It's also not a bad idea
to make sure that the cable connection actually works (I've been
humbled by a bad cable connect before.:-) ).
Hope this helps.
