After a long struggle I succeded in installing NetBSD 1.6 onto my Mylex 
RAID card. But I can't boot from it.

Having spent more than 80 hours just to get NetBSD installed on my 
Apple Network Server 700 with a RAID card, this one was really 
disappointing.

It is an original Apple RAID card for the ANS700 machines. The 
documentation says, that writing
	boot /pci1/dac960/sd@8:aix
will boot AIX, so I thought, that writing
	boot /pci1/dac960/sd@8:netbsd
would load my netbsd kernel. But: no luck there. I tried several 
variations on the boot command, but Open Firmware either complains that 
it cannot LOAD or that it cannot OPEN the specified boot device.

Any ideas?

In NetBSD the system drive is called ld0 with the root partition on 
ld0a.

Should I give up booting from the RAID directly, and load the kernel 
from CD or floppy? If so, how does the kernel on CD know that the root 
filesystem is on ld0a?

All help appreciated.
