Re: bootloader issue

["David Ross" <dross%pobox.com@localhost>]

Getting closer but there's still an issue...

On boot, I get:
NetBSD/atari secondary bootloader ($Revision: 1.12 $)

That pipe is the little spinning bar.  It spins a little but freezes pretty 
quickly at the pipe.  The drive light stays off after the freeze.
