I'm totally new to this mailing list and I'm not sure whether or not it is
allowed to ask not technical questions. If not, sorry in anticipation.
(Please indicate, if I should post better to the usenet group. There's some
problem here with, because the provider I'm mainly using, seems to have
cancelled it from his newsgroup list (?) ).

When I try to install NetBSD to a Mac IIci (80 MB ram, 4 GB -Barracuda- at
scsi id 0, CDRom at id 3, ethernet, bichannel active isdn card, csi hurdler
ser ports), after starting the NetBSD/Mac68k Installer I'm getting the
following error:

>sd0 at scsi ID 0.

Any idea, what's the reason why? I took a look at the FAQ at the mac68k page
at NetBSD.org, but I didnīt see any *obvious* reason. Please keep in mind
I'm pretty unexperienced with any Unix and trying to get NetBSD working on
that IIci is my very first experience (exception made for some use of Lynx
with an Apple II from shell). 

(What I want to do is to give that nice machine "a second chance" as server
in a small bnc ethernet based lan (3 macs, 1 Apple IIGS), mainly as internet
gateway and as file server).

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestion (and forgive my ignorance),
