 I have an Amiga 2000/030 with an FPU running under WB 1.3, and I'm trying to 
install NetBSD 1.1 on it. Every time I try to run the "xstreamtodev" utility 
in order to transfer the file system to the swap partition, it crashes. I 
can't figure out why this is happening, since I installed a recent 
ixemu.library. However, I'm probably missing something, so here's a couple 
basic questions:

1. Can you run NetBSD 1.1 on an Amiga running under workbench 1.3?
2. What version of "ixemu.library" should I have, and will this allow 
utilities such as "xstreamtodev" to work?
3. What the heck am I doing wrong?!  :-)

Please reply by email if possible. Thanks in advance...
