(I also posted this to comp.unix.amiga, so I apologize if you are seeing
this for the second time)
I've read through INSTALL about 100 times and checked the FAQ, but I
can't get NetBSD 1.0 installed on my system.
The problem is that after I start the installation program, it can't find
my root device. I have checked the HDToolbox setup many, many times, and
it is exactly as how INSTALL specifies it (I think :)
I have an Amiga 500 & GVP A530 accellerator/hard drive (series II
controller). I do have a full 68030 in the A530, and the MMU works with
other programs I have tried, such as VMM.
Here is what the configuration program reports with unimportant sections
deleted. I get similar results with NetBSD 1.0 (GENERIC) and -current
(GENERIC) kernals.

Scanning for root device
(floppy drive access here, but absolutely no hard drive access)
The root device you have chosen is on:
FATAL ERROR
No devices for disks of type 'sd'
This is probably a bug in the install disks
Exiting install program
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get NetBSD installed? I am using
loadbsd-2.10, since loadbsd-2.09 reports that I have an Amiga 1200.
Like I said before, I am fairly sure that I have my hard drive set up
properly. If it makes any difference, the hard drive is SCSI unit 1 and
is a Quantum ELS170S, revision 4.07.
