I forgott to use an entry for the UFS fs (id 169) with fdisk(8). It was a document you helped creating that lead me to the solution: http://snark.ptc.spbu.ru/~uwe/netbsd/jornada/netbsd-hpc-euro2004.pdf So, thanks twice! But, can you explain me why one hasn't to define the existence of this partition using fdisk(8) on a HP Jornada 720? There it worked only by declaring the DOS partition; I thought the use of fdisk would be especially important for Windows, for that it can find the partition. I thought the kernel would rely on the label made by diskalbel(8) and not on the "DOS" partition table. Btw, I used your new version of hpcboot, which works. The ZIP filed contained to binaries, one named _d and the other _r, slightly differing in size. I used the version named _d , but what's the difference to the one named _r? > You can tick the "ask for file name to boot from" checkbox in hpcboot > and the kernel will ask you to for the root partition (if it turns out > that it's not wd0a, which is my first guess). I had tried that before when it didn't work, but it hanged, too. -- hernani
