I assume you mean 1.2 . . . But, yes, i've convinced it to work on a IIci with Zip disk. Thre is a how-to on the macbsd.org site, which will get you partway there. It suggests sizes for the root & swap. It doesn't mention that you need to use mkfs on both, not just the root. (i reused the values for the root partition for the swap disk). I still don't have the networking configured, and it still logs in the regualr account as root, but i'm partway there. . . bsd runs, though. rick -- R E HAWKINS rhawkins@iastate.edu These opinions will not be those of ISU until they pay my retainer.
