Dear Experienced Users,

I have difficulty installing NetBSD1.6 on my G3 350M with OF 3.1.1.:
I followed with Install.html document closely and observed OF3
peculiarity. Document says I need to use "Upgrade" or "Re-install" option.
But I had to use "Install" first then I did followings based on the 
instruction:
I'm dedicating internal hard disk for NetBSD only.
0. I partitioned the drive with one 6GB chunk with HFS and
     put ofwboot.xcf and netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz there,
     but I use cd-rom with full set of NetBSD 1.6 official.

1. disklabel wd0
2. newfs /dev/wd0a for root & /dev/wd0g for /usr.
3. mount /dev/wd0a   /mnt
     mkdir /mnt/usr
     mount /dev/wd0g   /mnt/usr
4. Created /mnt/etc/fstab as
     /dev/wd0a  /  ffs  rw  1  1
     /dev/wd0b  swap  none  sw  0  0
     /dev/wd0g  /usr  ffs  1  2
5. umount  /mnt/usr
     umount  /mnt
6. Invoked sysinst by ./sysinst
     selected "Upgrade" install on "wd0" from cd-rom and let it go.
Are these correct so far?

When process of 6. finished, what should I do?
Do I have to repeat above 2.~5. then reboot?
How do I create device node?
You see when I #mount  /dev/wd0a  /mnt, it went OK.
But #cd   /mnt/dev  did not go.

If I just reboot from there, I ended up with Apple icon with "?" flashing.
I can not get NetBSD window at all.

Please somebody help me. I'm totally new in this area, but I'm willing to
learn NetBSD earnestly just like you did.

Sincerely,
Yoshi
