Colin,
I did as you suggested, but now I'm having problems booting.  Here's 
exactly what I did:
Opened up SilverLining and instructed it to make a new A/UX User Slice 0 
from some extra space on my MacOS partition.  That went fine.  Ran mkfs 
to convert that into a usable file system for netbsd, no problems there 
either.  Now, I ran the booter...it **looked** like it was booting fine 
until it got to the ncrscsi part.  It reads `ncrscsi0 at obio0' and after 
that it just sits there.  Do you or anyone else have any ideas?

Heres my setup.
Macintosh IIvx 12 MB RAM
It is running off a hard drive at scsi ID6  sd2 in netbsd.
sd2a is my root&user sd2b is my swap.  I have one other MacOS partition.
Running NetBSD 1.3 with GENERIC #61 kernel.

Help Please...

Chris
