I can't get NetBSD1.0 to runn on my Performa 475. I can get the file
system set up. and I can install the apropriate parts (etc, bin, netbsd,
comp, man) but when I try to get it to boot using the booting software, it
gives me an error and says it's not tested on this machine, puts up a
screen saying loading netbsd or something, then crashes.
Can anyone help? I formatted the HD as a A/UX HD like it says to..but I
have no idea what the problem is.
Can anyone help?
I used the installation software from the NetBSD ftp site, Mkfs, MacBSD
Install Utility 1.0, and MacBSD_Booter_1.4.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
