Hi, Im new on this list and actually I dislike mailinglists but I have to ask
this question about an Amiga installation of netBSD.

I am a user of a A4000 with a 4.1gig Fujitsu IDE Drive as IDE unit 0 and a x4
MITSUMI 4xCD as IDE unit 1

My A4000 have 16 partitions.
Partition 3 is "SWAP:" on 50mb and is used as the swappartition and have
miniroot unpacked in it.
Partition 4 is "ROOT:" on 100mb
Partition 5 is "VAR:" on 248mb and will be used for /usr and /usr/local
The linux partitions are prepared according to the installation manual and
have been rechecked a couple of times.
Partition 6 is "linuxffs:" on 70mb, my only FFS partition with the following
files in it : 
base.tgz               9228161 
comp.tgz               6878302 
device-streams.tar.gz    71318 
etc.tgz                  53878 
games.tgz              2974239 
loadbsd                   8956 
man.tgz                2480838 
miniroot.fs            4194304 
misc.tgz               2238124 
netbsd                 1856485 
rdbinfo                1856485
secr.tgz                768513 
start                       21 <- used to run loadbsd -b netbsd
text.tgz               1007957 
xbase.tgz              2483259 
xcomp.tgz              1649928 
xcontrib.tgz            182274 
xfont.tgz              5930317 
xserver.tgz            1579558 
xstreamtodev             23072 

the rest of the partitions are AmiFileSystem, 1 MS-Dos partition and 3
Amcintosh formatted partitions.


when running loadbsd -b netbsd
netBSD loads normally when removing my not working CV643d from the Zorro
slots. (Probably the card dont work becouse of an old buster revision, I have
ordered a new one but it have not arrived yet).
Soon I will be asked to type in my root partition (sd0a as default) and using
the installation manual i type in "sd0b".
Then the installationprogram ask med for a "dump". The manual does not include
this and default is "sd0b". I have tested with sd0a and sd0b but the same
problem occures.
I press enter when choosing filesystem and "ffs" came up as default.

I choose "sd0" as the root device further on and a error message wich reads
"disklabel /dev/rdonec No such file or directory" comes up. Probably a small
bug, I ignored it.

The the installation programs declare that I should configure the filesystems
but then suddenly the installation progress quits itself with the following
error message:
The following will be used for the root filesystem:
sd0a    /
/install: cannot create /tmp/filesystems : read only file system
#

typing "install" again skips the choose-partition step and ends up with the
same error-message.
I have also tried to change the "root" partition and the "dump" partition to
my other partitions aviable (the LinuxFFS partition and the VAR: partition)
but that does not work at all.

Thats my problem, and the FAQ or bugreports did not help me :(
