Re: bootloader issue

["David Ross" <dross%pobox.com@localhost>]

5.0_BETA installs, but on reboot it gets to the second stage bootloader and 
then I get the "enter os-type" prompt from the bootloader.  I can hit enter 
a few times and it does not load.

I went back and tried 4.0_STABLE again.  I must have done something wrong 
before because this time it booted and I was able to load sysinst just fine. 
But then on install, I got:
installboot: /dev/rsd0c: unknown: Device type not supported.

This is one of the bugs David Brownlee fixed 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-atari/2008/11/13/msg000113.html), so I 
think it's just missing his fix.
