I'm trying to set up a 256 MB CF card for NetBSD on a MobilePro 780
using SuSE 8.1, but am running into brick walls.  The version of SuSE
I'm running (LiveEval directly off a CD-R) doesn't support FFS.

Trying to boot from pbsdboot on a 5M msdos partition, I don't know how
to get it to recognize the kernel on another partition.

Does NetBSD even recognize ext2?

When I put the generic kernel on the msdos partition, it boots the
kernel fine by simply specifying "/netbsd", but then it bails because
it seems as though it cannot mount the root file system.  In the
choices of file systems, it lists: generic msdos cd9660 nfs ffs halt.
If I use msdos and redo the card, wouldn't that cause file permissions
to be haywire?

When the kernel boots up and asks me for the root and dump devices,
what does wd0a stand for?  In fdisk, I set up sda1 (the way it was
referenced on my PC) to be the root filesystem (I chose 83 - Linux
ext2), sda2 to be the swap (82 - Linux swap), and sda3 to be msdos for
pbsdboot and the generic netbsd kernel.

Any suggestions?
