I hope this is the good place for this...


I've got some trouble intalling NetBSD 1.2 on my Amiga3000/10Mo/Retina.
I've prepared a swap partition, a root and a usr ones, using hdtoolbox and
the informations found in the NetBSD installation instructions.

I had to correct bad informations the disk itself gave to hdtoolbox :
the disk 'said' :
        heads   : 6
        cyl     : 94
        sectors : 559

but NetBSD told me it should be 564 sectors (6*94)... then dumped.

I backed up my Quantum disk, then passed it under hdtoolbox to give it the
good #sectors. Re-partitionned, then re-launch loadbsd -b netbsd.

boot device >sd0

mount swap : ok,

panic: cannot mount root

db>

what should I do now ? Is there any problem with my disk ? the kernel ?
if I type "continue" at db prompt, NetBSD dumps.

please HELP ME !!! (I'm a desperate guy...)

thanks !
