I'm trying to install netbsd on a 9600/200.  I used rawrite on a windows
machine to write the floppy image at this location.

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/macppc/installation/floppy/

I used the PPC system disk 2.3.1 to change the open firmware settings.

I changed the boot device to "fd:0"

I changed the input and display to:

kbd        and             screen

I'm not sure if I need to specify a boot file??

Then I try to boot from that boot.fs floppy image.

I restart and nothing happens. (black screen) Does any one have any
hints on what I'm doing wrong??

And how can I get this machine to boot into the Open Firmware prompt and
put the prompt to the screen.  When I do the command-option -O- -F- thing,
I get a black screen.


  Thanks for any help,
                  
                         Guy
