Bernd, thank you

s/it doesn't march/it doesn't work:
> boot wd0a:netbsd
booting wd0a:netbsd
open wd0a:netbsd: Input/output error
boot: wd0a:netbsd: Input/output error
(same error with '-s')
> ls /
(insert disk 2..)
ls: No such file or directory
> ls /kern
ls: No such file or directory
My aim is not to repair my system (it's has just been installed) but to
boot it in multiuser mode:
(boot1.fs and boot2.fs includes the rescue stuff too)
When i boot with floppies i mount/chroot the system but since
/etc/rc.conf is on Harddrive, multiusermode isn't activated.
My (stange) hardware:
40Go Harddrive on compaq 486 DX/2 50Mhz, no bios interface (no compaq
partition on hd)
Only bsd and linux kernels, when loaded, are able to recognize my 40Go
harddrive (not windows), that's why the boot precess won't recognize it too.
I would really like that old machine to boot netbsd (and my titaniumG4
too! .. see macppc mailing-list)
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
