Hello there.

%% Forgive me for writing in about problems I've been having installing 
NetBSD.
%% I've searched the archive, but not found anything similar.

Setup: PM 7500, 233 Mhz, 176MB. 2.1Gb SCSI hard drive on ID 0, exclusively 
for NetBSD. (Second hard drive on ID 1 for MacOS.)

Okay, Open Firmware is a doddle. The floppy boots up smoothly; partitioning 
also causes no problems.
Then I get a big list of the files installing, which stops prematurely with 
the message "timout on mesh0".
mesh0 is something to do with the SCSI interface. So is my hard drive timing 
out?
It's a standard Apple/IBM issue drive, so I'm not sure why this should be, 
particularly as the drive is being written to at the time!
I'd be grateful to know if this is a problem that anyone else has 
encountered, or if it's a special problem I've created for myself. (The 
whole Mac is custom built from scrounged parts!)

Best wishes

Ben Byram-Wigfield
