Subject: Re: Problems installing NetBSD on Q700

Sorry for the delay in my reply.  The day after I mailed the question my
wife had our first child (two weeks ahead of schedule!) Needless to say
things have been a little hectic around the house...

(I am a complete newbie in these matters if my question is answerable in an
FAQ please direct me there.)  Is there any reason I must have the 2 gig in
an external case?  Here is my setup  I have a the 2 gig internal, a 2x
CDROM, and a 260 Mb external with NetBSD (Generic) installed.  I am able to
boot from the external drive into NetBSD on my Quadra.  What is my next
move?  Which mount command do I use to access the 2 gig drive?  Any guidanc=
e
would be appreciated

Thanks=20
