Here is the problem. On installation, of the base.tgz and etc.tgz files I
get an error:
Error on SCSIRead(), #5
pos - 0, i = 57, fs = /
alloccgblk; can't find blk in cyl
I have been told a few things, so far, but no luck. I have tried
reformating & repartitioning the drive with the patched HD Setup.
I have tried adding an HFS partition at the end of the drive.
Each time I try to install, I have all extensions disabled, but no luck.
I have also been told, to try to boot the machine & finish the install
from inside NetBSD. This one, would probably work, but when NetBSD asks
me for a terminal type, and I type vt220, it says "Terminal type vt220
unknown". I guess it never installed it.
I don't know, what to do. I really want to get this thing up.
Could I unzip the archives and use a utility to let me copy the
individual files over from the MacOS?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
