Re: Problem installing NetBSD on VIA EPIA-M920

[Freddy Fisker <ff%freddyfisker.dk@localhost>]

Hi

Thank you for your help.

I have downloaded the boot.iso from the link:

http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201606090220Z/i386/installation/cdrom/

The messages on the monitor is almost the same:

I have used the Radeon Graphic Card in both the first mail and this mail.
