Greetings,
I've been trying to install NetBSD on my IIVX, without much luck. If anyone has
any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
Some specifics:
Machine:
IIVX 5 meg ram, CD ROM, 1 meg vram. 80 meg internal HD(HFS), 120 MEG externalHD(AUX)
Mac software:
system 7.5 with many extensions, control panels
NetBSD software:
version 1.0 (I've also tried kernel netbsd.042995)
My problem:
I use NOW utilities startup manager to disable all of my Mac goodies, turn of VM,
turn on 32bit addressing. When I try to boot NetBSD to a serial terminal (I'm using
a mac 512 connected through a null modem cable) it hangs after 10 or 12 grey bars,
or if I use netbsd.042995 it hangs after a message that says:
setting MMU control (hold your breath)
This message appears on the system screen, nothing appears on the terminal monitor.
Thanks in advance,
Raymond Richards
