Dear NetBSD-specialists,

I have an old IBM PS/2 57 SX with a MCA bus and 8 MB RAM that I want to
reanimate. I tried to install NetBSD 1.6 for the i386 architecture (the
boot-ps2.fs boot-disk), but when I a start the computer with this boot-disk
I always get: "Boot fail". I copied the image on different disks (with
rawrite32) but each time I get the same error message.

Can somebody give me some advice how I could make this work? (I also tried
the normal boot-disks, then the loading of the image starts, but after at a
moment nothing seems to happen anymore).

Thanks in advance,

Bert
