Indeed, there I misinterpreted the size of my 1G disk, and put sd0b waaay out of bounds. I tried again, with partition b in cyl 1-63 and a in 64-1023. I could not start b at 0; in that case the dd command claimed it was read-only. > (And the mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind / fsf 2 don't seem to match the > position of the miniroot.fs, which the instructions tell you to put as > 4th file) and that was actually corrected in Fredette's instructions. I installed all sets including X. The install script seemed to overwrite the generic /netbsd kernel (which I installed from tape in one of the sets) with the install kernel, so I had to re-extract it from tape. Startx works fine, but the mouse doesn't do anything, so then you're stuck... I didn't try networking. This is still on 9.2, not -current. -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
