NAME
nbfs —
NetBSD boot filing system for
RISC OS
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
nbfs is a filing system, implemented as a RISC OS relocatable
module, to allow read-only access to
NetBSD file
systems from RISC OS. It supports reading FFSv1, FFSv2, LFSv1, and LVSv2
partitions from disks supported by FileCore-based filing systems such as ADFS.
Pathnames on
nbfs follow RISC OS conventions, as described in
the various RISC OS
User Guides. The underlying
FileCore instance used by
nbfs is selected by the filing
system's special field, while the disk and
NetBSD
partition are selected by the disk name. Thus, to refer to the first
NetBSD partition of the first ADFS hard disk, one
would use
NBFS#ADFS::4a. RISC OS file names are generated
from
NetBSD file names by replacing
‘
’. with
‘
/
’. Files whose names contain characters
not allowed in RISC OS file names are not accessible through
nbfs. Thus, as a full example, the file
/etc/resolv.conf on the partition mentioned above would be
referred to as
NBFS#ADFS::4a.$.etc.resolv/conf.
LIMITATIONS
nbfs is very limited.
