Date: 24 May 1995 23:58:35 GMT Organization: FBR:Technologies Lines: 34 Message-ID: <3q0h7b$h6c@news1.best.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: technicorn.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 32bit) To: dragon@technicorn.com 2 main hangups... 1) When issuing "LoadBSD -b NetBSD" then inserting the raw-wrote install disk, the Kernel panics with message "panic:cannot mount root" after I enter "fd0<cr>". Rawwrite wrote 160 tracks.. Is it supposed to use a HD floppy? If so then I need a smaller filesystem image for a DD Drive. Actually, I issued "loadbsd -b -p -c 2000 NetBSD" (It thought my machine was a 1200 and it was using 16-bit memory instead of 32-bit) 2) I have an IVS Vector 030 accelorator.. The docs tell how to format HD partitions for NetBSD using HDToolBox. IVS_SCSIvector.device does not seem to agree with HDToolBox and causes a Guru error. The docs on the Vector utils say that it wll not format custom Dostypes. Suggestions ?? I am using Vector tools version 4.14 and ROM 4.14 if that makes any difference Thankx in advance for any suggestions. -Ross Wilper Dragon@technicorn.com Ignore the .sig It's My brother-in-law's newsreader -- [ mailto:tugrik@technicorn.com ]----------------------------------------- [ http://www.technicorn.com/ ] Tugrik d'Itichi -- Modern Day Monoceros [ FTP://ftp.technicorn.com/ ] Pain>Dream>Vision>People>Power>Change ------------------------------------[Keep Data Digital.
