I am in the process of installing NetBSD 1.1 on a 386 box. WHat disturbs me is that during the installation process after the Big Question (do you want to install NetBSD? yes/no) '/dev/fd0a filesystem not clean, run fsck(8)' appears. Everything installs ok, but when I restart to go to the copy_kernel procedure, I get fdc0 timeouts and reboot. I had used a number of floppies and and packages from a number of sites (to minimize corruption risk). No use. The system won't go to copy_kernel after installing the file system on /dev/wd0a, it insists on rebooting.
