Hello:
I've been lurking on this list for a while, and now have finally gotten
around to trying to make an install of NetBSD.
In any case, obviously, I'm having troubles, or I would not be posting them
here.
I'll start out by stating that I tried following the step by step
installation made available @
http://users.erols.com/ewinkler/installguide/installguide.html
All seems to go well until I actually get to the first boot now. Here's
what happens.
I changed and reformatted the partitions with MKFS, and used the
NetBSD/Mac68k Installer to install the required items.
kern.tgz
base.tgz
etc.tgz
comp.tgz
after the install completed, built devices.
after a reboot to mac os 7.5.3, and launching the BSD/Mac68k Booter
set the correct SCSI ID. 0 for the hard drive.
set the BSD Device kernel name and partition as explained in the
installation guide at the aforementioned site.
set to single user mode.
on attemp to boot, from the booter, it gets as far as:
"Bye-bye...
So I sez to him... The real way
that it should be done is to..."
This is where it locks up the entire system. No mouse response, and no
keyboard either. Must restart by resetting the power.
I had it on this machine once before, but kept having monitor issues. Now
I have a monitor dedicated to the IIci, hopefully I'll be able to make this
work.
Any help is appreciated....
Equipment specs below.

Mac IIci
24Mb Built In RAM
Cache Card
Radius Pivot Display Model 0361, which runs fine with the IIci's built in
video (I get all 16 shades of gray!)
And, and Asante Ethernet card of some sort, unsure of model though. I have
to dig out TattleTech or something.
