I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.0 via floppies to my system. This machine is a DECpc 486 class machine, 64 megabytes of memory, with a 1 gigabyte SCSI drive attached an Adaptec SCSI host adapter (1542 series.) I get through the initial installation questions (root size, swap size, etc.) and trouble starts after I answer "yes" to the "Are you SURE you want NetBSD installed ... ? (yes/no)". An error message immediately appears: Labelling disk sd0...sd0:no disk label aha: DMA beyond end of ISA sd0: not queuedaha0: DMA beyond end of ISA etc. Eventually the system reboots.
