Message-ID: <browse-1903971316490001@moofnet.kearney.org> Date: Wed, 19 Mar 1997 13:16:49 -0500 Organization: info@hand X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet Mail and News for Macintosh - 1.1 (34) Lines: 26 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:5674 I'm attempting to get netbsd1.2 running on a Macintosh IIci and it hangs during the boot sequence. The details are that this is a IIci with 20mb of RAM, an Asante Ethernet card a 'Toby' video card, a Daystar 50mHz 030 accelerator and a 240mb Quantum drive on SCSI zero. All the configuration steps worked fine. I partitioned the drive, ran MKFS on it, ran the Installer, loaded the packages, built the devices and then ran the Booter. The Booter shows the normal sequence of boot messages but hangs after showing the environmental details and the message: Set _macrsrc_cnt to 0 Then it locks up the machine. No mouse, no disk, no other 'signs of life.' I've tried reformatting and reinstalling as well as using different cards as well as no cards. I still get exactly the same results. The system is in 32bit mode and the cache on the accelerator has been turned both on and off to no avail. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks, Bill Kearney wkearney@kearney.org
