Yes, this is yet another post from someone having difficulty with the
installation process. In this case, however, I have the boot floppy and
the ISO CD and the installation proceeds without error. The following two
paragraphs are from the install document:
>- After all the files have been unpacked, go back to the main menu and
>select reboot, after you have removed the bootfloppy from the drive.
>
>- NetBSD will now boot.
I'm hung up on the phrase "NetBSD will now boot". Sorry, but is doesn't
boot. I get the hard drive with question mark icon on the screen.
Needless to say this is rather annoying after getting this far. I posted
two similar requests for help to this list in the past couple of weeks
but so far no one has replied. Anyone?
More detail: Installed on a Power Mac 7600/120 with 2GB drive. Did the
SystemDisk thing to make Open Firmware use the keyboard and monitor. Boot
floppy worked fine.
