Command in NetBSD to make script bootable?

Command in NetBSD to make script bootable?

hello,

I am trying an app based on NetBSD ("ghost for unix"), that i would
like to add a script to make the cloning of partition easier or more
automatic.

eg. right now, everytime I boot off the install cd or floppy, i need
to set the client IP address, server ftp address, etc. I would like
to make a basic script eg.

#bash

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

then the next line should read

uploaddisk test.img 192.168.0.2 sd0 ( command in N4U to compress and
upload image to ftp server.

thats all.

in linux i know i can make the script bootable to chmod +x to the file
name.. but no idea where to start in Netbsd, any info is highly
appreciated.

chmod +x works to make a script executable in any Unix or Unix-like
operating system.

You can use 'dd' on *BSD to make an image out of a disk, like on
Linux and other unix.

Works the same on any unix, basic things are more or less the
same across all of them. ;-)

You might want #!/bin/bash instead

Works the same in NetBSD.
