I have just started to install NetBSD 1.32 on my Amiga system. I have put the
miniroot file system on swap with the command:

xstreamtodev --input=miniroot.fs --rdb-name=swap

I then boot the miniroot filesystem with:

loadbsd -bpZ netbsd 

(NetBSD will only boot on my system using the -pZ options)

after this netbsd boots up and I start the install procedure.
the install script copies the miniroot to sd0a (my root partition) and then
configures sd0b (sawp) as the swap partition.

I also configure the network, all goes well until It's time to get the sets.

I use the option to load sets from local disk and get to the proper
sub-directory. 

The install script then gives me a list of sets availible to extract and I
answer "yes" to continue extraction.

I am prompted for the first set name or to press enter for base.tgz. I press
enter and the system hangs, input is printed to the screen but nothing else
happens.

I have tried all the sets to test if perhaps one was currupted and unless all
my sets are currupted then thats not the problem. I also tried to not set up
the network, and also no change in result. 


The reason i must use the -pZ options with loadbsd is because netbsd does not
like my memory configuaration unless i only use the 4 meg on the mother board.

So whats happening?? could the install script be having a problem coz of my
strange memory? I am at a loss here.


I have on a previous occation installed netbsd 1.21 with sucess so it
can't be a problem with the partitions (same ones) or i would not think a
problem with my ram, unless V1.32 does something very different with the
memory than 1.21.

I have now also tried reformatting the drives and double checking the
partition set up and everything is right... 

Thank you for your time.
