Newbie - install questions

Hey everyone,
       I'm installing NetBSD onto a Pencentra 130.
Installation is fine, and
now I'm running with internet access (wired ethernet). But
I'm headless - I
installed via a serial connection and don't know how to get
the machine to
boot up using its own screen. Further, the Pencentra's
keyboard isn't
compatible, and I imagine the touchscreen is useless too,
but I am hoping a
USB keyboard can be used. The kernel recognizes it when it's
plugged in,
labeling it wskbd2, but doesn't use it.

   So - how can I wean myself off the serial connection,
start using my USB
keyboard, and have the screen do something (now it just
shows one line at
the top showing it's terminal-connected - all output is seen
on my mainframe
terminal via serial). What is the name of the
terminal/screen/display on the
Pencentra itself?

    I'm using psdboot to start. I've tried the option -a
wd0a (and wd0f, and
wd0, and wd1a, etc.) but always end end with a 'curlwp'
message and a "db"
prompt. Typing <continue> at this prompt continues the
boot and all is fine.

    I have wscons configured in rc.conf as "YES".


   Any scolding, help, pointers vastly appreciated...

Peter

Maybe my psdboot options are wrong -

I have the system on a flash card which shows up as wd0.
If I start psdboot with the options -h -a wd0a (or almost
anything else like
wd0, wd0f, wd1, wd1a) I get:

If I start with "-h -a"  (no root specified) I can
then type in wd0a as the
root device and all is fine. I get this:

So 1st order of business - how do I boot without having to
type in where my
root drive is?

Thanks!

Peter

   After turning off "console" in wscons.conf and
turning on TTYE0 as screen
0 (and fiddling with /etc/ttys), I was able to use the
Pencentra screen, run
TWM under X, and it even detected my USB keyboard. Very
exciting! Touching
the screen causes the mouse pointer to move, but it doesn't
really track...

    But I am still needing my mainframe to get over the
hurdle of having to
tell the booter where my root drive/dump drives are. It
boots as far as 

atabus0 at wdc1 channel 0                         
wd0 at atabus0 drive 0: <SanDisk SDCFH-2048>

dump device (default wd0b): wd0a  Typed in...               
              
file system (default generic):    Typed in...

... and this has to be done over console boot because the
Pencentra screen
and keyboard aren't up yet.

Any suggestions? I'm so close!

Talking to myself again!

If I boot with no options at all (no serial, no
"-a" to ask for or specify
kernel location) my screen scrolls the bootup and my
keyboard is working.
But it boots to sysinst, not my flash card system. 
   I have the psdboot kernel on local ram, called md0a, and
I think that is
where it is going to boot. How do I tell it to boot from
wd0a? Seems like
I've tried every "-a /dev/wd0a, -a wd0 -a wd0a,
root=/dev/wd0a, root=wd0,
etc.) option I can think of...

    See - this really is a newbie question!

thanks to anyone who responds...

Peter

 	Are you building a custom kernel? If so you should be able
to
 	add "config netbsd root on wd0a type ?" to the
config file to
 	get it to automatically use wd0a as the root filesystem.

  I'm not at that point yet; the whole cross-compiling thing
is intimidating
to me...

In a classic RTFM moment:

    I installed the dos/booter partition with
hpcboot/psdboot and the two
kernels on the SAME CARD as the netbsd system.
    Then, using HPCBOOT, I changed the name of the kernel
from the booting
one (netbsd.gz) to the regular operating one
(netbsd-GENERIC.GZ).
     All is working now, and thanks to Martin and David for
responding.
