Re: Booting /NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200807120002Z on my TT030

I'm very interested in your experience getting 2.1 up and running.  IIRC, 
with the 2.x versions I tried, I encountered errors when the installer would 
attempt to write out the boot sector.  I believe I was able to get past this 
in some instances but the OS wouldn't boot past stage 2 of the bootloader 
once the installer rebooted the system.  I tried a few different scenarios, 
including an upgrade from a working 1.6.1 install as well as starting 
scratch with a zero'd disk.

Consequently, the highest version of NetBSD I've been able to install on my 
TT030 so far is 1.6.1.

In the past few months I've actually done quite a bit of work in my spare 
time getting my TT030 set up with NetBSD 1.6.1.  I've documented everything 
up on a wiki here:
http://netbsd-ataritt.wikia.com

The wiki is still a work in progress, but feel free to take a look, make 
edits, or provide feedback.  Even though the wiki is targetted at the TT030, 
it would be very much appreciated if you had the time to contribute a 2.1 
install walkthrough for the Falcon.
