Thanks for the help. I made the mistake of giving the version number of the
installer which was 1.1. I am using booter 1.9.4 which seems to be ok. I
will download those other kernels and see if they help. The system has all
kinds of components in it, so I may run into conflicts. Also, has anyone
managed to create NetBSD boot disks for VAXen and DECstations with
NetBSD/mac68k. I have loads of machines I have been tinkering with, but a
distinct lack of boot drives (or operating systems) for them. I am getting
the other NetBSD lists now, but I have boot drives for the Macintosh
systems.


Thanks again.

There once was a system called VMS
Of cycles by no means abstemious.
        It's chock-full of hacks

And makes my poor stomach all squeamious.
