Blodgett) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: Problems installing NetBSD 1.2 on a Macintosh IIcx Date: 7 Oct 1996 07:54:06 GMT Organization: Hevanet Communications Lines: 20 Message-ID: <vigilant-0710960102560001@st-ppp02.hevanet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: st-ppp02.hevanet.com I am trying to get NetBSD to run on my macintosh IIcx, it is in the list of supported models, however every time I try to run the installer and install base12 and the kernal it crashes part way through the install of base12 and gives me an unimplemented trap error. I have made my Root&User partition (86 megs), and my swap partition (16 megs, double the amount of ram as the docs suggest). Then I used Mkfs to make the file system. Next the docs tell me to install the base, but I get an unimplemented trap part way through the install every time I do. I even went to the trouble of downloading 1.1 and seeing if I had the same problem, but no luck there either. My setup is a Mac IIcx running system 7.1 and 8 megs of ram, with mode 32 on which it says I need. I've tried with mode 32 off, all extensions off, every time I get unimplemented trap error. I also have another friend who claims to have this same problem. Please reply via this group or e-mail, either would be fine. my address is vigilant@hevanet.com
