I've looked through the FAQs etc and I haven't been able to find a solution
to my problem. This is my first time trying to install any sort of unix
variant on a Mac and I'm running into some difficulties. I installed NetBSD
1.2.1 onto a IIci with 8 megs of RAM. I have been unable to boot up the
system however and I'm not sure exactly what's wrong. I was thinking that
perhaps I might have my SCSI root id set incorrectly so I've tried every
setting from 0-9. 0 is the SCSI id of the HD containing my root partition.
That doesn't work though since I get some sort of bad magic number error.
Every other number gives me a SCSISelect() # 2 error. I'm not sure what
else I can even try to do to get this machine up and running. Any and all
help would be greatly appreciated. If any further information is needed I
will try to supply it.
Thanks,
Aaron Gerega
