Hi,
Am having a few problems installing NetBSD 1.4 and I hope somebody knows
why? ;-)

Each time that I boot the drive that the diskimage is installed onto I
get the following.

>boot 3/rz1/install
>>NetBSD/pmax Secondary Boot, Revision 1.0
>>(root@mona, Friday May 7 14:50:29 EST 1999
boot 3/rz1/install
open 3/rz1/install: no such file or directory

I have tried the following commands writing to a Digital rz25e & Seagate
st4766n drives and tried booting
them at various scsi id's. etc.

Dos > unzipped the diskimage file the tried to use rawrite that came
with linux
         "will only write to a floppy". Is there another version that
will write to HD as suggested in
        the install guide.

RH Linux 5.2 > gunzip -c diskimage.gz | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=10240
                   dd if=/files/diskimage of=/dev/sdb bs=10240
                    cat diskimage > /dev/sdb
Freebsd 2.1.5 > disklabel -W /dev/rsd1c
                           gunzip -c diskimage.gz | dd of=/dev/rsd1c
bs=10240
                           dd if=/files/diskimage of=/dev/rsd1c bs=10240

Ultrix V4.3 > gunzip -c diskimage.gz | dd of=/dev/rrz1c bs=10240
                      dd if=/files/diskimage of=/dev/rrz1c bs=10240

At the boot prompt >> I have only been able to use the "3/rz1/install"
command  as it does not recognize
the -f switch to be able to try " boot -f rz(0,x,0)install", only
switches allowed are -z -n
Prior to boot I get  KN02-BA V5.7e (PC0x80710070) & SP 0x8070ff90 if
that is any help.

Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated.
