Broke down and bought a new monitor, but I'm back to not being able to
install NETBSD.
Here's the deal: I partition the drive up into four partitions (root, swap,
usr, local) with the automount turned off, begin and end reserved blocks at
0, etc. I set the file system to "Custom File System" ...there isn't a
DOSType on this screen so I go back to Add File System and add 0x4e425207,
etc. as File Systems (since the default was L:fastfilesystem, I left that
and entered the codes specified in the install documentation.) I now have
identifiers set up for the different partitions, so I go back in to Advanced
Options and set the identifier to match the identifiers with the appropriate
DOSType.
I still cannot get the install program to recognize my root partition...Are
there special names that I should use for the partitions?
I'm still using WB2.0 on an A3000 with the old boot ROMs that let you switch
between 1.3 and 2.0. I have 6 meg of memory and pretty much nothing else
worth mentioning.
Perhaps there is another partitioning utility I should use? Do I have to
upgrade AmigaDOS just to get NetBSD to work?
Any help is, as always, appreciated.
