Several months ago (oct) I attempted to install NetBSD on my ANS 700, 
according to a pdf I found online.

I tried again today- with newly downloaded cd images 
(http://kelvin.macvaerk.dtu.dk/ans/)

but i'm still getting:

bad partition number, using CLAIM0 failed

..when I try to boot the cd.

Nothing special here- I even took out my RAID card in order to make 
things simpler.

That said- the funny thing is, sometimes I can actually boot the mlx 
image. Usually, I get to boot:, type netbsd.gz, and it kernel panics.  
Is this due to the fact that the mlx cdrom is ISO ? (contrary to the 
ppf, I have to use ISO filenames- OFWBOOT.XCF;1, etc).

...of course, now that I try again, all boots are failing with:

loading .textCLAIM failed

So the whole ordeal is pretty inconsistent. The one time I did get 
booted, I couldn't see any of the hd's (which do show up in OF).

Any ideas?? Firmware requirements? Anyone actually get the OS loaded?

Thanks.
