Hi,

Having read a lot about NetBSD12 and wanting to get to grips with Unix, =
I'm
trying to install NetBSD1.2 onto my Amiga 4000. However, untill now thin=
gs
didn't go as they should, according to the INSTALL.doc

My configuration:

I downloaded and installed everyting as they should (I believe....)

    - All the binaries from the bin-dist dir
    - the kernel, utils, miniroot and security dirs
    - extracted everyting, copyied the loadbsd file into c:, the ixemul.=
lib in

libs:

    - created one dir in which I copied all the binaries
    - created the partitions on the harddrives, put in the right dostype=
s,

deselected automount and

      custom bootcode, put the end and start of the Reserved blocks to 0=
=2E
    - streamed to miniroot- install- filesystem to the swap partitions (=
both

of them).

Now, when I try to boot NetBSD with the command Loadbsd -b netbsd (I hav=
e the
kernel in the rootdir of my workbench) My system switches to loading Net=
BSD.
This goes allright until:

idesc0 at manibus0 scsibus0 at idesc0 sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <qua=
ntum,
LPS270A, A57.> SCSI2 0/direct fixed sd0: 258Mb, 955 cyl, 14 head, 40 sec=
, 512
bytes/sec

Then the system just sits there with the cursor blinking at the next lin=
e. No
reaction on keyboard, except for [Cntrl, Amiga, Amiga]. It doesn't see t=
he
scsiboard, nor the drives attached to it, nor the gfx-card, nor the part=
itions
I created, nothing.

I tried everything:

    - removing scsiboard
    - all the options in loadbsd
    - removed the IDEdrive (quantum lps270)
    - removed the gfx-board

All gave the same result. Except for removing the IDE drive, then of course,
it didn't see the sd0...

Please, any suggestions other than to give up? I'm really desperate,

Thanks in advance,

Job Hanssen
