Obtaining NetBSD binary sets, kernel and source code

Binary

Grab the latest release or current build and necessary sets (no X11 required)

    cd /data/kernels/

    nmap -p 873 rsync.fr.netbsd.org
    nmap -p 873 rsync.fr.netbsd.org -sU

    #sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.0/amd64/binary/sets
    #sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/amd64/binary/sets
sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/sets

    #rsync -avz --delete --exclude 'x*.tar.xz' $sets/ netbsd9/
    rsync -avz --delete --exclude 'x*.tar.xz' $sets/ netbsd-current/

See the PXE // NetBSD guide for daily tracking of the binaries.

And get the necessary kernels for XEN/PV and XEN/PVH. INSTALL can be useful for rescue mode.

#cd netbsd9/
cd netbsd-current/

#mirror=http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.0/amd64
#mirror=http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/amd64
mirror=http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64

# PV
wget $mirror/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3_DOMU.gz
wget $mirror/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU.gz

# PVH
wget $mirror/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz
wget $mirror/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC_KASLR.gz
wget $mirror/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz
