Hi All -

I've been trying to install NetBSD on a Raq2 without much success.  I hav=
e a=20
FreeBSD nfs server setup, and the dhcpd server configured, but I have not=
=20
been able to get it to boot so I can disklabel the partitions properly.

Here's my last attempt:
Cobalt: bfd /netbsd.gz -a
Decompressing  done
Decompressing  done.

NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Sep  8 13:07:51 UTC 2002
[SNIP]
boot device: wd0
root device (default wd0a):

I've also tried 'bfd /netbsd.gz nfsroot=3D/export/NETBSD/root', but that =
did not=20
get past the 'Decompressing' message.  This is my first time attempting a=
=20
NetBSD installation, so I wasn't sure if I need to set up other services=20
(tftp/bootparam/rarp) for this.

<NFS SERVER># showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/export/NETBSD/root                172.16.10.0
# ll /export/NETBSD/root/netbsd.gz
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  913091 Sep  8 06:58 /export/NETBSD/root/netbsd=

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
