Hi,

I've been trying for the first time to get NetBSD1.0 running on my LCIII,
but with no success. When I try and boot, I get the "This has not been
tested on your machine" message, and when I hit OK I get one more message
in the console (something about Console on 0, I think), then it hangs
totally.
Anybody any ideas? Or am I being a plank?

System:
Macintosh LCIII + FPU
20MB RAM, 712KB VRAM

Installation:
Created 40MB A/UX Swap slice
Created 110MB A/UX Root&Usr slice 0
Installed netbsd10, base10, etc10, man10 to test the system out.

The file system seems ok - the MiniShell seems happy to look around, and
the files seem happy to install. Just no success booting ;-(

Also - Can anybody help explaining the meaning of some of the entries in
the "Booting..." menu from the Booter? In particular, what's a boot flag? I
see it only remembers -ve entries (and zero), but don't know what they
mean! Also, the "Partition Name" entry - it doesn't seem to care what I put
there - it still hangs!

Thanks very much - I'm sorry if these questions seem dumb, but I'm a newbie
to this sort of thing, and desperate (and appreciative) of any help you can
give.

That'll teach me to buy a minority computer.. >;-D

Thanks,

John Herbert.
