After all that experiencing with NetBSD installation on a Syquest, I
finally dared to pass over to the hd. It's a 4 GB Dec RZ29B (=a Dec
labeled Seagate Barracuda).

I installed the filesystem with Mkfs_1.45 and installed with the
NetBSD/Installer the essential files (etc.tgz, kern.tgz, base.tgz). Now,
when the installer should build devices, I'm getting this error msg:

>sd0 at scsi ID 0.
>sd1 at scsi ID 1.
>Partition read, SCSIID = 0
>Mounting partition 'A' as /

What's that? I'm able to boot in NetBSD, but then I get no prompt, but
the error msg:

>warning: no /dev/console 

Thanks in advance, Ulrich
