My Machine is: ARM610
               30Mb and 8Mb SIMMs
               2Mb VRAM
               3.2Gb Quantum Fireball IDE (Acorn int.)
               Cumana 300ia CDROM
               ICS IDEa board and SyQuest EZ135
               ANT etherb NIC
               



I too have a problem installing BSD. Here is an email I sent here (?) but got
no reply to:

I am using the !BtRiscBSD v2.87 and kernel BSD_4634_6. I have
now written inst12 to a floppy, and the installation starts up fine. I am 
entering the following:

type of disc:
IDE

device:
wd0            (the disc is ADFS::4)

kind of disc:
quantum1gb

number of bytes per sector:
512

no of disc cylinders:
6232                        (found from !HForm)

no of disc tracks (heads):
16                          (again, from !HForm)

sectors per track:
63                          (!Hform)

what units:
cylinders

size of netbsd partition:
2180

root size:
80

swap size:
50

next partition:
2050

mount point:
/usr

R U sure?
yes

Then it whirrs a bit, and goes into a loop displaying the following...

/: Create/symlink failed, no inodes free
tar: Could not make dev/nst0: No space left on device


Help?

What is wrong?

Once I fix this, will I be able to install the rest of the sets from CD - my CD
drive is a Cumana 300ia - I suspect possibly not.
