Hi, i cannot boot my SE/30 with NetBSD 1.0.

Hardware : SE/30, 8 Mb RAM,
	standard Apple's ADB keyboard and mouse,
	no external video,
	40 Mb internal disk at scsi id 0 (QUANTUM), 
	634 Mb external disk at scsi id 1 (DEC RZ56-E).

Disks partitions (made with HDT Primer) :
The SCSI id 0 disk :
	1 Mac partition with booter and mkfs and install utilities.
The SCSI id 1 disk :
	1 A/UX root & usr partition of 600 Mb.
	1 A/UX swap partition of 32 Mb.

Things that are ok :
	- A file system is created (with mkfs) on the SCSI disk 1 R&U partition
	- the SCSI disk 1 R&U partition is mounted by the install util.
	- installation of netbsd10, base10, etc10, ... are ok.
	- with the mini shell in the install util i can see all the files.

When i use the booter to launch NetBSD :
	- I have got a lot of grey bars.
	- problems seem to begin after the message "scsibus: probing bus 0." :

all messages following "scsibus: probing bus 0." -------->

And then the debugger took the control and i just can reboot the mac.

I hope this is a small problem because i am very interrested in using
NetBSD on my Mac and i think you're doing a very good job.

Thanx for your support.
