Ok. Help?
I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.3.1 on a Mac Powerbook 165 (10 mb ram, 150 mb
hd).
The machine-status page shows the PB165 as working, but with unsupported
video. Does this mean:
1) It works, but don't try to install X.
2) It works, but doesn't have any support for the screen whatsoever--to use
one must telnet in.
If (1), I'm doing something wrong. The booter says:
"Debugging at level 0.
Logging to bootlog
Booting...transparent = 1
MID_M68K executable: entry 0x2e00.
1055472+65792+101352+166452+156503
Set _boothowto to 0x0.
Attempting to kill all running programs
Changing Monitor settings...
Bye-bye...
...
Set _mac68k_vrsrc_cnt to 0x0."
I then click "Boot" and get:
"[ prserving 322959 bytes of netbsd symbol table ]
Bootstrapping NetBSD/mac68k.
Getting mapping from MMU."
At which point it hangs. Suggestions? Not knowing much about either Macs
or NetBSD, I didn't know whether I should try kern_sbc.tgz. I tried that,
too, with apparently no effect. Would -current help?
If (2), then let me know so I can resign myself to MacOS.
Thanks,
John
