Hi all,
First of all, this is the configuration I'm working with:
Beige G3 desktop (rev. A, OF 2.0f), 233Mhz, 128Mb ram, one internal 4Gb SCSI
hard disk and one internal 4Gb ide/ATA hard disk. The SCSI hard disk is
dedicated to MacOS 9.1, it is also the MacOS boot disk. The ide disk has a
2Gb HFS+ partition (this partition also contains the NetBSD distribution
sets), the rest of the disk is for use with NetBSD. For installing I'm
booting from a floppy.
Now the problem:
When I try to extract the NetBSD distribution sets I have to tell sysinst
where they reside, so I choose "installation from an unmounted filesystem"
(i.e. the 2Gb hfs+ partition); device = wd0e; filesystem = hfs+; direcory =
/macppc/binary/sets. Sysinst gives me the following reply:
"/macppc/binary/sets could not be mounted on local device wd0e".
Has anybody an idea what I did wrong or perhaps forgot to do?
Thanks,
Bert
