Well................
By the grace of God.............
It finally happened..............

And I didn't even know, all I did was turn off the cd-rw drive connected to
my scsi card and a lot of things started to work better.  I already knew
that the NetBSD installer/kernel could not read ide drives on the Blue&White
G3 so I had given up.  But I decided to try again w/ a new set of
installation instructions from Charles Hannum.

And it worked!!!!!!  It recognized a scsi drive that I have connected to my
Orange Micro card!!!!!!  Funny, LinuxPPC can install on ide drives and not
my scsi drive and NetBSD is the exact opposite.   Oh well, it works for me.

Thank you everybody for your help, esp. Mr. Hannum.

Now, if I can only figure out how to boot into the system..........


Salaam (Peace),
