Re: Problem installing NetBSD on VIA EPIA-M920

Hi,

If you are still interested, then your problem is very much like this
resolved bug report: http://gnats.netbsd.org/46018

I assume you need something similar.

Following patch will probably help confirm (however, I am not very
familiar with hardware, so it may do nothing!)

You can grab the sources e.g. from the github mirror, and create your
own install image.
The following commands will build an .iso for i386, and is supposed to
work for any architecture/OS (so you can build it on any machine you
have).

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/jsonn/src
cd src
./build.sh -mi386 -U -u -O../obj release iso-image

It will tell you where it placed the .iso at the end.

Thanks.
