Hi,
Would anybody who's had experience with NetBSD on an HP platform
let me know? I've seen that there's a port for the the 9000/3__ (the
numbers excape me)... and somebody, somewhere told me that it'd work,
but I can't seem to get it to boot. After dd-ing the boot drive, if I
try to boot in Domain/OS mode, it'll gripe about not being able to read
the PV label on the disk (which, of course, wouldn't be there after
the dd). In HP mode, it seems to stick at the test for bitmapped
video. Can anybody offer a suggestion or two about what I'm doing
wrong?
Thanks,
-- Patrick
