1.)  Can NetBSD be installed to a ZIP disk?  (I suspect this to be a FAQ
with the answer of "NO!!", but I haven't been able to track it down...)
Created the partitions with HDToolKit, but mkfs doesn't like 'em, and I
can't seem to do much with them....Y? (Pointers?) N?

2.)  Every time I check to see if a kernel is compatible by starting to
boot it from the Mac OS, I get "wrong file type" every time.  I have dl'ed
about 6 different kernels using Anarchie and Netscrape (saving as "source")
with no success.  (Anarchie is supposed to be able to recognize the file
type and transfer accordingly--Version 1.6.0 doesn't seem to have "binary"
or "MacBinary" selectable modes..)  What simple thing am I missing?


Thanx

Newbie
