Install NetBSD amd64 using dk wedges scheme
I installed NetBSD successfully in the past on my Macbook Pro (rev 3,1) by
building an INSTALL kernel with disabled GPT options.
Now, I try to install NetBSD 5.1 using GPT partitionning scheme. I followed the
instructions given at this page :
http://wiki-static.aydogan.net/How_to_install_NetBSD_on_an_Apple_Macbook_w/core2duo
I now have 2 additional dk wedges on my disk, one for root and swap. I newfs it
and extracted all the installation sets to it. Here is the GPT layout :
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT)
2 409640 97803751 Mac OS X HFS+
3 98065896 293378399 Mac OS X HFS+
4 293642240 342468607 Basic Data
5 342468608 382333326 NetBSD FFS
6 382333327 390721934 NetBSD Swap
I also modified fstab to look like this :
/dev/dk4 / ffs rw
/dev/dk5 none swap
I also installed the bootcode :
cp -p /mnt/usr/mdec/boot /mnt/usr/mdec/boot.cfg /mnt
installboot -v /dev/rdk4 /mnt/usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2
Finally, when I reboot the machine, rEFIt find my NetBSD installation (it
displays the option, and the NetBSD icon with it), but when I select it. in
boots in fact partition id #4 which is Windows. It should normally boot
partition #5. It doesn't even boot the kernel at the root of /dev/dk4.
Do you know what I could have done wrong during my installation ?
