hi,

i dd'ed netinstall.lif to the HD and retransplanted it into the HP.

booting from it crashes at (copied manually):

i just dd'ed netinstall.lif to the HD -- has it to be set up first
(partitions etc.)? seems to me it seeks for a swap partition and fails...

however: great job! i had a big grin on my face when watching the first
lines of NetBSD appear on the screen :)

cheers,
