Hello,
I've been trying to install NetBSD 1.5.3 on my RAQ2 for about 3
weeks now. I have an OpenBSD box setup running NFS server, and can get
the RAQ2 to net boot to it. I then try to setup the drive for NetBSD,
but every time I try *desperate laugh*, I get a drive looking like
this...
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
Partition table:
0: sysid 131 (Linux native)
start 1, size 1024127 (500 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 2
end: cylinder 1015, head 15, sector 63
1: sysid 130 (Linux swap or Prime or Solaris)
start 1024128, size 263088 (128 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 1016, head 0, sector 1
end: cylinder 1023, head 15, sector 63
2: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 1287216, size 410256 (200 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 1023, head 15, sector 63
end: cylinder 1023, head 15, sector 63
3: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 1697472, size 23732352 (11588 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 1023, head 15, sector 63
end: cylinder 1023, head 15, sector 63
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 23732352 1697472 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1684 -
25227)
c: 410256 1287216 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1277 -
1683)
d: 25429824 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
25227)
f: 263088 1024128 swap # (Cyl. 1016 -
1276)
g: 410256 1287216 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1277 -
1683)
From what I can tell, the next step involves creating and mounting the
new filesystem... OK sounds easy. I think I have to fdisk the drive to
a 169 type, but it never works and I'm not sure if I do them all or just
2 and 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

...ummm yeah....if you could just go ahead and um..., fdisk that drive
for NetBSD... that would be great....
