Hi all,

>From Nigel Pearson’s site I dowload Booter2.0.1a1.sea-binhex.hqx,
(from http://homepage.mac.com/nigelpearson/FileSharing1.html)

[I even try Booter2.0.0a10.sea-binhex.hqx from same source]


>From ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/binary/ I took both kernel files,


I run the booter, select the kernel file netbsd.GENERIC-89.tgz *,


I use the Boot now menu item and get a Bad format error message !



Obviously, I’ve done something wrong here. Any advice ?

TIA,


Emile
