I have managed to create an ISO image since my last e-mail and, although Wi=
ndows still thinks the drive is empty, NetBSD boots from it.  However, it h=
angs after establishing partitions, setting ip address, login prompt etc. -=
 the display looks as if it's trying to display something in a resolution n=
ot supported by my monitor (a 19" Belinea), then the CD spins down, and the=
 screen goes completely blank.  Might this be a dodgy ISO-write, or another=
 problem?

Thanks much.
Gareth.
