Is anyone able to test this - if I get a positive report soon enough we may be able to get this into netbsd-5! :) http://mono.org/abs/atari-gemdos/I just tried with your FALCON kernel and sysinst.fs.gz (hmm, did I miss something?), but after installer tries to execute "/sbin/mount -rt gemdos /dev/wd0f /mnt2" it throws following error message: mount: mount_gemdos not found for /mnt2 Another nice thing for installer would be check that if it can't find e.g. netbsd-FALCON.gz kernel it could try netbsd-f.gz (gemdos 8 + 3). :)
http://mono.org/abs/atari-gemdos2/ contain an updated
version which should correctly mount gemdos filesystems
*and* look for 8.3 truncated files if it cannot find a full
filename (we really need to rename at least one of the
MILAN kernels)
If you have already downloaded the sets then you can just
grab sysinst.fs.gz, though everything has been rebuilt and
picked up a bunch of post netbsd-5.0_RC1 fixes :)
As an general aside for speeding up testing installs, you
should be able to install just using the kernel and
sysinst.fs.gz, telling it to download all the sets from
http://mono.org/abs/atari-gemdos2/ or similar, though thats
obviously not relevant in this case...
Final question: Does prepare.fs.gz *do* anything that
sysinst.fs.gz doesn't anymore? Disk partitioning / labelling
/ anything?
