Hello,
Once again, someone can't install NetBSD on his computer :-)
I have downladed the boot floppy (and the binary snapshot).
Since I don't have any terminal ( I have a PC but not the cable to
connect it to the mac using serial), I have configured OF to handle
screen/keyboard from the mac adb screen/keyboard.
I load the netbsd kernel, all seems ok until the kernel start (?) at
this point I see nothing anymore leaving no choice but reboot.
I have the feeling that the kernel upon starting handle all
screen/keyboard from the serial line.
I am wrong ?
If not how can I use my mac screen/keyboard ?
If not can I bought any serial cable to connect PC<->mac or should it
have somthing special ?
Mac and PC are also connected using ethernet.
I am not an unix begginer (started my unix life on NetBSD 1.0 4 years
ago :-)), but I never try to install netbsd on macppc.
Thanks for any help.
S.R.
