Unfortunately, I have encountered some difficulties. In the installation notes, I am instructed to use the dos fdisk utility to create a partition and obtain some offset numbers. I am currently running Dos 6.0 and the fdisk utility offers no offset numbers for me to write down. Isn't there a simpler way to install NetBSD? 386bsd seemed to have solved that problem. Why was the installation procedure changed? I would be grateful for any help you have to offer. Would switching to a previous version of dos help at all? Jon Arney jarney@jupiter.cse.utoledo.edu
