Through kernel & installation disks, no problems, my 85MB Drive is split into 30 & 55MB parititions. The 55MB is the NetBSD slice, used pfdisk for this. Installed as 50MB / partition and 5 MB Swap (Plan on increasing swap afrter installation by using the 340MB Drive). NetBSD & BIOS report disk geometry as 980/10/17/512. I enter this, and install kernel onto wd0a. No problems. When I boot from the hard drive, I get the NetBSD boot prompt, i enter wd(0,a)/netbsd, and it hangs. Ideas? I'm totally stuck :-) Thanks, Bryan
