Message-ID: <3bct3b$oe0@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu>
NNTP-Posting-Host: copper.ucs.indiana.edu
OS: NetBSD 1.0 Release
System:
Cyrix 486DLC-40mhz w/128k cache
8MB Ram
2 serial w/ 16550 UARTS
1 parallel
Serial mouse
Old Oak VGA Controller w/ VGA Monitor
Soundblaster 8-bit
Wearnes CD-ROM drive w/ controller
1.44Mb Floppy
Colorado Jumbo 250MB Tape
Problem:
Installed NetBSD 1.0. 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
