Well, I started the 'fully by hand' method. Booting 'boot.fs' without=20
any problem.

BUT :

My primary HD (wd0) is 'master' and have MacOS9.1 and MacOSX on it. I=20
don't want to touch it.
My secondary HD (wd1 - is it really wd1 or am I mistaking ?) is set to=20=

'slave'.

In order to know the partition scheme that is seen by NetBSD, I type :

disklabel wd1

It works fine with 'disklabel wd0' but fails with wd1 (that would be too=20=

easy ;-))
The error is : 	'wdc1 (or wd1c) lost interrupt'

So I can't continue the intall since I can't even blindly newfs wd1=20
partitions... :-(

1: Does anyone has an idea the error come from ?
2: what is the difference between /dev/wd1a and /dev/rwd1a ?

Thanks a lot !
