HI,
I have been trying to install NetBSD 1.3 on my Quadra 700 but But I 
allready failed to install even the base package. This is the reported 
Problem during the installation process:
#5 SCSI read
#5 SCSI write
(this a couple of times )
and than someting like a cycle or block allocation error at /

I messed with the MKFS formating options and the only thing I managed was 
that it will crush at a different point during the installation.
My guess is that I need to use some more specific entries in the MKFS 
dialog for it to accept my hard drive (a Quantum FB1280S).
The only 'Error' message the MKFS gives me is a 'Warning 188 Sectors in 
last cyl unallocated'
(Messing with the parameters I can get the 188 to be a different number.)

I have partitioned the drive to hold a 850MB Mac-OS, 64MB Swap and a 
365MB root&USR partition.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks Henning
