Well let me introduce myself before I load my questions on you all...
I have been working in the computer field for 9 years 5 as a macintosh
network specilist. 3 in army communications. and 2 as a network
installer... I currently am doing all the internet work for a large
school system. So if you have any mac networking problems I may be able
to help or at least willing to say duhh...
I have been working on UNIX for about 8 months but that has been mostly
on SGI's and SUN's so I hope that will be enough to keep me from going
bald to quickly
I found the netbsd about two days ago I then proceded to download all of
the netbsd1.1 binary files (all 8 of them) I then took a 300 meg drive
and put a new partition on it. with 157 megs for the /root partition 24
for the swap 4 megs for the mac os and 70 some for general use...
I then mkfs for the root, general use and the other small partition that
was created, but not on the swap...
Then I installed all 8 of the binaries.
After that was finished I built the /dev file using the build command
from menu...
That concluded my build...
I then installed sys 6.0.7 on the mac os partition and copied boot 1.8
installer 1.0 and mkfs to the small mac os partition...
I restarted the mac and the mac os came up and I started boot 1.8 I then
went in to options and set the scsi id to 5 and left everything else
about the same....
upon booting It goes through some checks and after it checks for the
video board I get an error and the cute message "your hosed" Sorry I
didn't write down the exact error but since I am at home I can't
replicate it bt I will post it first thing tomorrow morning...
Oh yeait is installed on a ci with 12 megs of ram and a cache card and a
focus ethernet card. (i pulled the ethernet card and still was hosed)
I will pull the cache card tomorrow morning and see if that helps any...
So if anyone has any suggestions based on what I posted I would
appreciate It a lot...
Thanks for any input...
Kirk Boston....
