Hi All,

  I finally got around to installing netbsd on my mac.  I have a mac SE/30 5/80 
with an MICRON Exceed 8 bit card w/ grayscale adaptor.  I have a zip drive also.  I 
formatted and partitioned my zip cartridge to 65 meg. Root&Usr, 25 meg. Swap, and 5 
meg as a Mac HFS.  Next I ran MKFS on the Root&Usr partition.  I used the 
following options: 
    512 Sector Size 
    512 Block Size 
    512 Sector Size (hardware) 
     40 sectors/track         (MKFS default)
      8 tracks/cylinder
    416 cylinders
      8 cylinders/group
      0 free sectors/track
   2048 bytes/inode  
 133120 partition size

  After installing the base10 and netbsd, I built the devices.  No problems, yet.  I
restarted my mac with all extensions OFF and ran the booter v.1.6 with the following
options:
  ON  Single User Mode
  ON  Gray bars
  ON  Serial Console Echo
  OFF Serial Console
  
      SCSI ID 5
      Kernal location (NetBSD mac) I think was the name, It wasn't MacOS
      Kernal name     netbsd
      located on      Root&Usr

  

  I don't recall the rest of the options or their names at the moment, I'm at work now.


  When I boot netbsd, I get the following output:

  Booting...MD M68K executable:entry 0x249e
  507356(0x0) 42720+96584+35916+37440
  Bye-Bye...
    So I sez to him ...  the real 
  way that it should be done is to:
  Ser Console=0

< FROZEN MACHINE >

  I tried the booter again and checked to be sure 32 bit addressing was on, pixel 
depth was 1, and all extensions were off.  I put Ser Console=0 in the boot options 
box, same error again.



  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   thanks Doug
