Hello,

	I've been trying to install NetBSD 1.5.3 on my RAQ2 for about 3
weeks now.  I have an OpenBSD box setup running NFS server, and can get
the RAQ2 to net boot to it. I then try to setup the drive for NetBSD,
but every time I try *desperate laugh*, I get a drive looking like
this...

NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:
0: sysid 131 (Linux native)
    start 1, size 1024127 (500 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder    0, head   0, sector  2
        end: cylinder 1015, head  15, sector 63
1: sysid 130 (Linux swap or Prime or Solaris)
    start 1024128, size 263088 (128 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder 1016, head   0, sector  1
        end: cylinder 1023, head  15, sector 63
2: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 1287216, size 410256 (200 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder 1023, head  15, sector 63
        end: cylinder 1023, head  15, sector 63
3: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 1697472, size 23732352 (11588 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder 1023, head  15, sector 63
        end: cylinder 1023, head  15, sector 63

8 partitions:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a: 23732352  1697472     unused        0     0         # (Cyl. 1684 -
25227)
  c:   410256  1287216     unused        0     0         # (Cyl. 1277 -
1683)
  d: 25429824        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 -
25227)
  f:   263088  1024128       swap                        # (Cyl. 1016 -
1276)
  g:   410256  1287216     unused        0     0         # (Cyl. 1277 -
1683)


From what I can tell, the next step involves creating and mounting the
new filesystem...  OK sounds easy.  I think I have to fdisk the drive to
a 169 type, but it never works and I'm not sure if I do them all or just
2 and 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

...ummm yeah....if you could just go ahead and um..., fdisk that drive
for NetBSD... that would be great....
