Hi,
I tried everything the way I was told in this list to install NetBSD y my
laptop, but it still doesn't work. I created a particion NetBSD kind of
~2Gb, selected custom and divided it in label "a" with offset at the
beginning of the BSD real particion and set its size to 1479 MB, then label
"b" as swap with the remaining 600 MB starting at the end of the "a" labeled
part and taking the rest of the space in the BSD particion. This time I
selected to install a bootmanager (not installing it didn't work, so I gave
it a try), but still it all dies with this message: "mount of device
/dev/wd0a on / failed" (I set / as the mount point for "a"). The screen
flashes to fast to see the command executing, though I guess it is "mount"
with some parameters, and then the error shows in the blue screen of the
installer. Did I miss something? Could it be that the installer can not
access the BSD particion of 2Gb at the end of a hard drive of 30 ? Should I
set any bios parameter or something like that?
