Ken,

yes, but I used the NetBSD Installer. I'll redo it in the correct way.

I can do "disklabel cd0" and get some results. There are 3 partitions,
format ISO9660 ecc.

I tried this (and also the way Paul Goyette adviced), but I couldn't mount
it.

Btw, since among the results of disklabel there was indicated ISO9660 as
format I also tried that instead of CD9660 and the error msg was slightly
different. Since it is written on the info of that CD (Gateway3) it would be
bootable from an Amiga or 386, could I boot from it using the booter? What
should be specified there in the booter options? ID 3 (for scsi id) and cd0a
as boot root?

Easy for you . . .:) Ok, I'll look and see. For the moment I can go on with
the US layout, the only really odd problem is, in the german keyboard the
"Z" is in the place of "Y" (of the american and vice versa).

Thanks a lot and best regards, Ulrich
