I'm a NetBSD newbie and I've noticed that support for Q700 is finally
available so I thought I would download it and get it running. I've managed
to download all of the proper files for NetBSD 1.2 install and I think I've
got things right. I've just got all the binaries from the 1.2 binaries
directory of a mirror site.

There are a few things however that indicate to me that I'm doing something
wrong. When I attempt to boot this is the error that I receive.

        FPU0 at obio 0 (mc6840)
        nubus 0 at mainbus
        Argh! No Boot Device?? Only supports disk device for booting.
        Changing root device to a:
        panic cannot mount root stopped at - debugger + 0x6: unlk db
        db>

Because of this I'm not sure if I've got the right kernel installed. Here's
a copy of my root (as taken from the installer utility.

As you can see the Kernel, netbsd, is dated September 25. Is this the
latest kernel that I should be using or is there a later one that I should
use. If so where can I find it. I've checked the NetBSD current directory
and to no avail I can't seem to find netbsd.quadra (that I've seen referred
to in other posts there).

Any suggestions?
