Howdy,

Well, I have managed to get NetBSD installed on a PB170 with a HUGE 80MB 
harddrive. To give myself some more NetBSD space, I am booting off of a 
floppy. That works just fine but once NetBSD is running, I can't access 
the floppy. When I try to mount /dev/fd/0 to /mnt it tells me that mount 
needs a block device. So I went and created a block device (mknod 0,raw b 
21 5) and tried again. I now get a 'device not configured. I am using 
PeeCee formatted floppies because I noticed that there was no 'mount_hfs' 
command.

So, to solve my problem, I need one of three things. One, do we have 
floppy support yet? If so, what am I doing wrong? Two, is there a 
'mount_hfs' command somewhere? If there is, how do I get it on the 
harddrive? I do not have a network card and transfering from the floppy 
is the problem I am trying to solve now. This kind of leads to the third 
solution, do we have AppleShare support yet? That way I can mount an hfs 
filesystem on another Mac and transfer the files I need. Actualy, is 
there a way to transfer arbitrary files with 'NetBSD Installer'? I have 
the kernal on another system and a bootdisk that boots System 7.0.1 and 
AppleShare on a single floppy. That way, I can run the installer and boot 
programs.

Thanks for any help you can give. If I have not made myself clear, please 
ask.
