I have problem installing NetBSD-1.4.2 on my Compaq Presario
4504 with Pentium 200.
I was using NetBSD-1.4.2 release CD. It booted successfully
the first time and came to a point to allow me to set the
partition for NetBSD. I did not enter the correct partition
information and when I realized that I tried to go back to
previous screens to re-enter, but NetBSD did not allow me to
do that.
I had no choice but to reboot and I am never able to boot
from NetBSD CD since then. Each time I boot from the CD, the
only message I see on the screen is "Read Err" and the
machine is dead. Does anybody know what this error message
means?
I tried the same CD on other machines, it boots. My Presario
can also boot Compaq Restoration CD.
Could somebody help me?
