Installation of PReP onto a 7428/43P-120 went successfully but alas,
wont boot! Looking in the port-prep mail list archives I came accross
the fact that you need a type 65 partition in addition to a NetBSD
partition for it to boot at all. Why is this not mentioned _anywhere_
in the INSTALL.* files? And, it says you have to use "installboot" to
install the boot image to this special partition, but that program isn't
even on the install floppy! This isn't meant as a rant, I'd just like
to know _exactly_ HOW do you get PReP installed onto a system that
hasn't had it installed before? Thanks!
