Hi,
I have a pile of MacIIsi's sitting around here and I'd like to
put netBSD on them. I also have a pile of questions :^)
How do I know if I have '32-bit dirty' ROM?
I'm not sure if they have FPUs on not: how can I find out?
What does miniroot get set to? (Something of the form /dev/* or
what?)
If the don't, how do I answer the FAQ's point 3.8.2 (your machine
prefers an FPU (M68881 or M68882))-- it should _boot_ without a FPU,
right?
I guess all this is premature-- when I use the booter from within
MacOS, I get:
=-=-
[...]
Env: "HWCFGFLAG2" set to 30527(0x773f).
Env: "HWCFGFLAG3" set to 16777510(0x1000126).
Set _mac68k_vrsrc_cnt to 0x0.
Set _mac68k_vrsrc_vect to {0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 }.
=-=-
and then it hangs. Any clues?
(Booter 1.8, netbsd_GENERIC_57 kernel, IIsi 9M ram,
booter size set to 2.5M, extentions off).
Thanks,
Henry
BTW: the MetaFAQ points people to the macbsd-general list,
but the archives indicated it was a dead list.
