I've managed to get the "inst-11.fs" onto my swap drive and
get the install message etc to come up by mounting BH3: which
is my swap drive and typing;
loadbsd -b -A bh3:netbsd
But when I'm asked for the root> and I type SD1 it scrolls this
message;
2 mice confiured
10 views configured
panic: cannot mount root
syncing disks... done
cannot set battery backed clock
dumping to dev 411, offset 39936
dump 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 succeeded
and then a couple of seconds later the machine just resets :(
I have a 500Mb HD which is used solely for NetBSD, the install
screen calls it SD1. The drive is partitioned thus;
Partition - Size - Dostype
root - 25Mb - 0x4e425207
usr - 125Mb - 0x4e425507
local - 320Mb - 0x4e425507
swap - 30Mb - 0x4e425301
Can anyone tell me why this is happening ?
Simon.
