Re: install/53510: Can't install ISO on USB nor on DVD



Do you have some hardware info?
From Linux, what's the output of

lspci

Make and model of the machine?
As much info as possible about your hardware.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for trying to help me out!!

I am a step further now, I think.
In Linux I managed to make a USB-stick which
gives me the following menu:

1/Install NetBSD
2/Install - NO ACPI
3/Install - NO ACPI, NO SMP
4/Drop to boot prompt

But, whatever I choose, after passing
a lot of green text on the screen, the screen
stays black, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Greetings,

Wim Van Loock

 For amd64 the easiest way to try is the USB image, if your machine
 has UEFI firmware:
 
 https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/images/NetBSD-8.0-amd64-uefi-install.img.gz
 
 or if it uses BIOS:
 	
 https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/images/NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz
 
 
 To put it onto install media, you would on a NetBSD or linux machine
 do something like:
 
    gunzip NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz
    dd bs=1m if=NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img of=/dev/.... 
 
 (I don't know the proper device name on linux, on NetBSD it would likely
 be rsd0d).
 
 Or if you want to download/prepare the USB stick on Windows, you
 could use: https://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/
 
 Maybe the DVD you burned is bad? The ISO image works for me.
