Ltd. Lines: 34 Distribution: world Message-ID: <ZOLTAN.96Sep20223208@vackor.bendor.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: hutsg8p21.hutch.com.au Hi, I want to install NetBSD-1.1 to my Amiga 3000. I have created the necessary partitions: root 20M usr 110M swap 20M (I only have 4M fast) I set their dostype according to the install FAQ. I also have 2 Amiga native partitions there. I transferred the inst-11.fs to the swap partition, again, according to the FAQ. When I say loadbsd -b netbsd it boots up and asks for the root device. When I say sd0 or sd0* (the disk is on SCSI ID 0) it says that it can't find rdb on device sd0 and dies (actually it drops into a debugger). What goes wrong ? The machine is a stock A3000/25MHz with its own SCSI, 4M fast 2M chip, plus a Picasso-II w/ 2M RAM and an A2065. The kernel finds both cards. The distribution I use is the Gateway! CD. I can't boot from the CD but I copied the distribution over from my Linux box (which has a CD and runs NFS that's visible from the Amiga). Any help would be appreciated, please send answers in e-mail (as well). Thanks in advance, Zoltan -- ***************************************************************************** * Zoltan Kocsi * I don't believe in miracles but * * Bendor Research Pty.
