 This is probably not the right place to ask about problems with this CD,
but as I compilated the archive, I voluntary answer of course.

 Just one word: The version of NetBSD found on the CD is 0.9a and is
*WAY* old. I cannot recommend the use of it.

 Ahem?! You are *NOT* using a kernel from the CD. NetBSD 0.9 did not 
recognize the CD as /dev/cd0 but as /dev/sdxc whereas x is the SCSI ID.

 (And mounting the CD to /usr is a bad idea, too)

 Don't even think to mix 0.9a and 1.0 binaries or kernel unless you know
what you are doing. The supplied mount (and mount_isofs) is not compatible
with the kernel you are (probably) using.

 I don't know right now if the old NetBSD supports your IVS SCSI adaptor,
this could be the reason why you use a new kernel. If you can start the
kernel from the CD, then try mounting the CD as suggested in the
readme:

 mount -t isofs -ro /dev/sdxc /cdrom

(x is the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM).

 NetBSD 1.0 will be on the next volume of the Meeting Pearls CD to be
expected january '95 and on a special NetBSD-Amiga CD.
