design and implementation: Getting Started: References, Equipment, and SoftwareWe'd gathered books and equipment to begin the port in 1989. Most critical was the Crawford and Gelsinger book. A breakdown of the various uses of the root filesystems, and the considerations for each as we prove out the operation of the system step by step.
