Hello.

I wrote this list recently (4 days ago?) about problems installing/booting
NetBSD on my LC520.  I received suggestions to use the SBC kernel, use
1.3_BETA, and many other things.  Since then I completely erased the
partition and reinstalled NetBSD 1.3_BETA on it in hopes that it would run
aoko.  However, it is still freezing on startup.  The files I put on were
kern_sbc.tgz and base.tgz, and also some of the other ones (comp, man,
text, etc).  I installed all of these from the installer (I have yet to
even see a NetBSD interface :) and then "Built Devices."  I ran the Booter,
set the SCSI ID, single user mode, etc etc, and tried it out.  It froze
again, but this time it didn't keep on repeating itself.  This is almost
all the text on the screen (hand-copied)

That's it.  I am desperately seeking help.  I gather from the last line
that it may be the GENERICSBC that is wrong, perhaps I need GENERIC.  I'll
try that, but people told me that it would only work w/ the GENERICSBC.
Also: In the FTP directory containing kernel/ and bin/, there was a
NETBSD-SBC.gz file and a kern_sbc.tgz file, both of which were the exact
same size.  I took both, but the installer would not recognize the .gz
format.  I decided to try it w/ the kern_sbc.tgz file, because they look
pretty similar. (same size, both seem to have the kernel (??))  You can see
above what happens.
