I'm almost there, but I've run into something that seems very simple, but is currently tripping me up. How do I specify "Direct Disk" as a kernel in the configuration creation or update step? From `linode-cli kernels list` try: --kernel "linode/direct-disk" I don't think the cli existed when I first set mine up. I'll have to have a go with it.
Re: USING NETBSD ON LINODE?
hello. thanks so much for your reply and the link to your blog post. I'm almost there, but I've run into something that seems very simple, but is currently tripping me up. How do I specify "Direct Disk" as a kernel in the configuration creation or update step? I'm using something like the following to specify the configuration parameters. However, this isn't working. /usr/pkg/bin/linode-cli linodes config-update \ --helpers.updatedb_disabled true \ --label nbsmtp1_bootinstall \ --kernel Direct-Disk \ --devices.sda.disk_id (a) \ --devices.sdb.disk_id (b) I get: Request failed: 400 0xB field 0xB reason 0xB 0xB kernel 0xB No Kernel Found 0xB -thanks -Brian

Been running NetBSD on Linode since 2013 and have been through various transitions: i386 to amd64; XEN to KVM. instructions on how to build a custom image for uploading? My approach has always been to use the install image to install onto a Linode raw disk. This post is dated, but the overall technique is valid: https://atomicules.co.uk/2017/06/11/NetBSD-under-KVM-on-Linode.html If you have no luck figuring it out from that I could walk through a fresh install and update the steps... assuming I can find the time.
USING NETBSD ON LINODE?
hello. Is there anyone on this list using NetBSD on Linode? I see some folks have done it in the past, but I don't see anything current. Also, are there instructions on how to build a custom image for uploading? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. -thanks -Brian
