Trying to install NetBSD using this kernel failed on my machine - maybe 
anyone is able to help? 
 
First, my configuration: 
 
A1200T, Blizzard 1240T/ERC, 20(+2) MB RAM, SCSI-Kit IV, IBM DORS-32160 
 
The files I'm (upto now) using here and which I got just some days ago 
(i.e. the most recent versions, I assume) from ftp.uni-regensburg.de 
are: 
 
loadbsd (2.14) 
inst-12.fs 
xstreamtodev 
netbsd.cyber (from ftp://theory...) 
 
Following the 'INSTALL' file I created four NetBSD partitions (root, 
swap, user and local) and transfered 'inst-12.fs' to the swap partition 
using xstreamtodev. Then loading the kernel with 'loadbsd -A -b 
netbsd.cyber' and entering 'sd0*' as boot device resulted in the 
following error:
