I just tried to install NetBSD/Amiga v1.0, and I got farther. 
Now, it makes it past the hardware checks.  It prompts me fot the root
device, and I respond "fd0".  It then continues fine, but when it tries to
find a root rdb on my hard disks, it fails to find one.  I know that I set
all of the partition parameters as detailed in the installation
instructions.  I used a DOStype of 0x4e425207 for root, 0x4e425301 for
swap, and 0x4e425507 for others.  My hard disk is divided up thusly:  the
first partition (qdh0) is an AmigaOS partition; the second (qdh2) is my
swap; the third (qdh3) is root; the fourth (qdh4) is /home; the fifth
(qdh1) is /usr.  Is there something wrong with this settup?  Do I need to 
have root in a special place (e.g., the first partition)?  Thanks.
