I'm having problems booting NetBSD 1.5 from an internal ide drive on beige
g3 ( heathtow-ata)
I did apply System Disk patches as detailed on the web
OF commands tried:
boot ide0/disk@0:0
boot ide0/disk@0:/netbsd - nothing works.
Maybe worth noting: the error I get from OF  is "Can't OPEN:"
If I were to type a bogus path the error is  "Can't OPEN:/foo/bar/blah"
Notice that in the first case it does not echo the path ( or  maybe it does
not see it ??)
I also tried absolute paths:
boot /pci/mac-io/ide@20000/disk@0:0
- no luck

Any suggestions ?
BTW, I did NOT run installboot after I installed the OS  - maybe this is my
problem ?

TIA
Andy
