[Simh] Installing NetBSD boot block

Hello,

I’m playing around with NetBSD in the 3900 simulator and I’ve got my boot disk image full. I have created a bigger one, transferred all the stuff to it (using tar | tar), but I can’t make it bootable.

I’ve tried what seems to be the way to do it:

# installboot /dev/rra2a /usr/mdec/raboot

(the ney system disk is attached to RQ2).

No joy. I’ve also tried to do it by brutefoce, DD’ing the first 16 blocks of my running system disk, but it still fails.

What am I doing wrong?
