I have a question regarding a first time install of NetBSD Mac68K
that I thought this group may be able to help me with, or at least
refer me to someone can.
The problem:
I have partitioned the hard drive on a Mac IIcx and followed the
install procedures for NetBSD Mac68K v1.1, I attempted to boot it up
(using booter 1.8), it gets through the initial stages and the
screen switches out of the booter window, to, I assume the NetBSD
shell. It then continues the booting process. It displays about
3/4 of a screen of info then the screen becomes a mass of random
lines. It looks a lot like a video card "sync" problem. However I
really can't say.
The hardware is:
Mac IIcx
8mb Ram
Standard Apple MacII video card
Apple 13" monitor
Any sugestions? - Please reply directly to me if you could
Thanks for your time
