Hi,

I tried installing NetBSD 1.4 onto a 4.26 GB IBM DDRS drive. I set up
several partitions (not more than 6) with Mkfs_1.45. I created the
necessary mounting points. Then, I ran into problems with the Installer in
the mini shell when trying to mount file systems that were beyond the
first GB on the disk. When I used mount from /, I got the infamous Error
on SCSIRead(), #5; but, from /usr it simply said the device was busy. Sure
enough, once I fit all partitions within the first GB (actually, the last
partition could extend beyond the first GB as long as it started within
the first GB), mounting was not a problem. Has anyone ran into similar
problems with large SCSI disks? Are there any fixes?
