Bill, Erik and everyone else,

I *believe* that I am booting into single-user mode, however I WILL
indeed confirm that when I get home this evening from work.

I am wondering about the message  I recieved stating the follwoing
however:

>Well, signal 10 is (AFAICT) SIGBUS.  Looks like something in your
>system is causing bus errors...

Wouldn't it stand to reason however, that if I am getting bus errors on
the Un*x side, I *should* be getting them on the Mac side as well??

I do not have any non-standard hardware installed in my machine.  The
only thing that is different internally is that the CD-ROM drive has
been changed from SCSI ID 3 to SCSI ID 1.

I *did* at one point have a 486SX/25 DOS card installed, however  I had
taken it out before my attempt to install NetBSD.

Hopefully I have been attempting to boot into multi-user mode and that
is the problem......

BTW:  (if Paul Goyette is reading this) where can I get a list of error
messages that will tell me what "process (pidx) got signal xx" and other
error messages mean.

Thanks (again),

Greg Evans
