Hi all,

Having a little trouble booting my 6500.  Install went smoothly.  Did 
the following in open firmware:

set boot-device ata/ata-disk@0:0
set boot-file netbsd

It seemed happy about this.  I then typed "boot".  I get the following:

 >> NetBSD/macppc OpenFirmware Boot, Revision 1.2
 >> (matt@duel.local, Thu Nov 16 17:26:57 PST 2000)
no active package2901124+237436 [100+105392|

The spinning cursor halts in the vertical position at that point.  Any 
ideas?  Have I screwed up the OF settings, or does the 6500 not like the 
kernel?

Thanks,

-Bill
