Maybe its just my luck. I have all but given up on netbooting it.
I have downloaded version 1.3.3, and I was wondering if it was possible to
make a boot zip disc since I have an external scsi zip drive. Can I do it
without having a netbsd box, ie make a netbsd boot disc using my linux box?
How?
Thanks
